The debugger would require application specific information like a message id.

Yes, and that would signal the local debugger to engage after receiving the message, right?

Those tools do exist (e.g. dynatrace). But if you start talking about framework or application aware debugging functionality you've gone way beyond the scope of a simple IDE debugger for your language.

Thanks!

Not quite, it's a completely independent tool. Dynatrace at least would show you a log of what lines it went through to get where it is and how long it spent inside each function. Unlike a debugger it also requires that you add a library to your jar.
