Eclipse Community Awards 2012

Chronon allows you to finally Step BACK in your debugger. Chronon is like a DVR for Java. It records the entire execution of your Java program to a 'recording' which can be played back any time in Chronon's Time Travelling Debugger which plugs seamlessly into Eclipse. The 'Post Execution Logging' also allows you to get rid of log statements cluttering your code and add logging anywhere in your code AFTER it has executed and see the results instantly!

Chronon is truly built for debugging programs of 2012. It is designed to debug highly multithreaded, long running applications. Apart from just Stepping Back, Chronon allows you to jump to any point in time of the execution of your program instantly and see its entire state, without waiting. This is extremely useful for long running programs where you dont want to set a breakpoint and wait for an hour for it to hit.

For example, you can click on one of the 'Thrown Exceptions' shown by Chronon, and jump directly to when it was thrown. Then you can step back and see exactly what caused the exception to be thrown in the first place!

Chronon also includes 'Post Execution Logging' functionality which allows you add logging anywhere in your code AFTER it has executed and see the results instantly. This means you can get rid of logging statements entirely in your code!!
