Using JSwat in development for Android

[DJC]

I've just become aware of JSwat, and I'm wondering if it offers value
above and beyond DDMS - and is usable within Eclipse / ADT on windoze
and running live on the tethered device.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The core of JSwat is UI agnostic and can be run in a console, but the
part that you're probably interested in is wedded to Swing and the
NetBeans Platform. So, I think the answer is "no".

Thanks

I'd like to learn more about this, too, for general knowledge.

Of course JSWAT GUI is standalone, via netbeans.  But given this, the issue would be whether the tethered device has an IP address and can expose the java native debugging protocol, JDWP

If so, then JSWAT would apply.  Which would be nice because it works so well.

Thanks,
John

So, based on this
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/ddms.html

I would expect to be able to attach standalone JSWAT to DDMS on port 8600 of the localhost.

just now..

Thanks!

David, you're probably the closest to it.  Having all the android gear setup. 
Hope to hear more sometime.

Thanks,
