If you want to launch the GUI debugger, then simply calling
org.mozilla.javascript.tools.debugger.Main.main(new String[0])
outside Context.enter()/Context.exit() pair should be sufficient.

If you would call the debugger after you loaded some of your scripts, 
you need to make sure that you pass correct URL to 
Context.compile/Context.eval since the debugger will use the URL to 
access sources for already compiled scripts.
