You can (usually) use the clas.getResource("ClasName.class") mechanism
to find the class file, and the you could use gnu.bytecode to read the
information you need from the class file.

In some places Kawa should probably use the moral equivalent of
SIGNAL instead of throw.


I do want Kawa to support R6RS exception handling - dealing with the
patch you submitted is on my TODO list!  I'll try to get to it soon.

But I think a Kawa debugger does need to handle plain-old Java
exceptions.
