I rarely use debuggers for Java code (when I do, I use jswat, which is
decent). println() and printStackTrace() are my favorite debugging
tools -- my main gripe is that gcj-win32 can't give stack traces, and
probably will never be able to.

Well, if HotSpot dumps core, it's Sun's fault, not yours =)
