Yes. GDB supports debugging the Java language, not the Virtual Machine.
JGNAT generates JVM byte code that cannot be handled by gdb.

GVD provides very basic support for jdb, but there is definitely additional
work needed to make GVD work with jdb completely, and it is unclear
whether it is worth it, since jdb itself is very unstable.
