Remote debugging runtime library in a JVM from a different vendor


Is there a good approach to remotely debug and step through JVM classes (think rt.jar) of the target JVM? For example if my main development environment is on Windows Oracle HotSpot JVM and I want to remotely debug the application running on the AIX IBM JVM? The bytecode/internal classes are different so the line numbers don't exactly match up to what my IDE is showing me.
