JIVE is an interactive execution environment for Eclipse that supports a declarative and visual approach to debugging object-oriented software. It can also serve as a pedagogic tool for teaching object-oriented programming. JIVE extends Eclipse's Java debugging facilities with interactive visualization, query-based debugging, and reverse stepping. In conjunction, these tools provide for a unique debugging experience.

JIVE is developed with the following principles:

• Support Full Java Language
• Depict Objects as Environments
• Visualize Current State and Execution History
• Provide Multiple Views of Runtime State
• Produce Aesthetic Layouts
• Support Forward and Reverse Execution
• Support Declarative Queries on Runtime States
• Use Existing Java Technology

Jeffrey Czyz is a PhD candidate studying under the supervision of Dr. Bharat Jayaraman at the University at Buffalo. He is currently researching declarative and visual execution environments for object-oriented software development. Jeff is the lead developer of the JIVE platform for Eclipse.
