tdf#157003: interactive Java unit test debugging

[Martin Gube <martin.gube@xxxxxx>]

    Hi Developers,
    
    I'd like to interactively debug the Java unit test
    JunitTest_sw_complex (CheckIndeterminateState.java) for further work
    on tdf#157003. Can anyone help
    me on how to do this?
    
    In case of failing unit tests, the make process output after
    invoking "make JunitTest_sw_complex" suggests the following:
    "Or to do interactive debugging, run two shells with:
        make debugrun
        make gb_JunitTest_DEBUGRUN=T JunitTest_sw_complex"
    
    However "make gb_JunitTest_DEBUGRUN=T JunitTest_sw_complex" results
    in a virtually never ending make process for me. I tried this few
    times and canceled it after several hours without visible progress.
    
    Also I tried to run JunitTest_sw_complex inside GDB in different
    ways, without success. However, I'm wondering if GDB is able to
    debug Java [1]. 
    I also tried to use JDB instead of GDB but got stuck with making the
    unit test run inside JDB.
    
    Can anyone help me how to interactively debug Java unit tests for
    LibreOffice?
    
    Many thanks for your help + best Regards,
    Martin
