How does debugging work?
A. Basic debugging works as it does in Java. You can set a line breakpoint by double clicking on the gutter marker next to where you want the breakpoint to go. You can right click to enable/disable the breakpoint. You can edit the breakpoint properties to make it a conditional breakpoint (conditions must be specified in Java and may require explicit casting). The instruction pointer will stop at breakpoints, and you can use the standard step into, step over, and step outcommands from Java. The variables window will show all variables that are in scope, just like when in Java. However, you will find that some of the runtime types of the variables are not what you may expect. For example, variables declared inside closures will be of type groovy.lang.Reference. Method entry and class loading breakpoints are not yet supported.
