EDT:Debug

The Java-based debugger is implemented via JSR-45, plus some of our own extensions (such as support for a customized Variables view).

The JavaScript-based debugger has not been started yet.

[1] Depends on bug 352666 which is sized at 10 days

[2] Depends on bug 352771 which is sized at 2 days

[3] Not currently supported in EDT JavaGen so it can't be worked on. Requires the generator provide a variable adapter as described in #2 above, in which case the work for this becomes writing an adapter for the runtime ArrayDictionary object - which again, can't be worked on until the base generator supports the type. If someone else extends our generator to support ArrayDictionary, they'll have to write their own adapter.

[4] Sizings for JavaScript debug assume a direct port of the RBD RUI Debugger
