While Loop Confounds JDK's Command Line Debugger (jdb)

My code includes this line:

Code Java:

---

while(input.hasNext())
{
   int variable = input.nextInt();
   ...
}

---

When I step through the code, jdb stops at the beginning of the while loop and I can't find a way to get past it.

How does one debug code requiring a user input with the command line debugger?

which debugger are you using?

Use remote debugging with 2 consoles - one for the app and another for the jdb. The following link might be of some use for how to do this via a command line app:
debugging - How do I pass console input to a running Java program instead of to jdb? - Stack Overflow

I am using the debugger provided by the Java Development Kit.
It opens upon typing jdb in the command line.

Thanks. This is interesting. I will do some experiments and get back to you.
