public static booleanisEnabled(java.lang.String category)
Static method to see if a given category of debugging is enabled. Enable by setting e.g., -Ddebug.fileio to debug file I/O operations. Use like this:
if (Debug.isEnabled("fileio"))
System.out.println("Starting to read file " + fileName);

		return System.getProperty("debug." + category) != null;
public static voidprintln(java.lang.String category, java.lang.String msg)
Static method to println a given message if the given category is enabled for debugging.

		if (isEnabled(category))
			System.out.println(msg);
public static voidprintln(java.lang.String category, java.lang.Object stuff)
Same thing but for non-String objects (think of the other form as an optimization of this).

		println(category, stuff.toString());
