One thing I wish Java debuggers supported was the ability to move the instruction pointer to a different line, as has been possible in other debuggers for ages. Is it a JVM limitation maybe? I remember being able to drag the "current line" pointer forwards or backwards in languages like C, C++, and C# in maybe 2003. I wish I could do this with Java; dropping the whole frame is useful but this feature lets you do a lot more, like break out of a loop or skip a block of code you _just_ realized shouldn't execute.
