jdb finds source files by getting the base source name from the class
and searching each path listed in its source path list. You should set
this source path list using the "use" command, specifying the paths in
a similar way as the CLASSPATH variable.
In the next release, jdb will have a startup file. This means you will
only have to enter the source path information once.
