This seems like an incredibly useful tool, I can't believe I haven't heard about it before.

Nevertheless, does anyone know if there's something like this for programs compiled to the JVM? I've never used gdb to debug JVM code, but I expect that it will not work well.

As of a few years ago someone was working on such a system for the JVM and had gotten quite some distance. Here it is: http://www.lambdacs.com/debugger/

A Google search https://www.google.com/search?q=java+backwards+debugger found some more hits.
