I checked their website and it is true, Segger is the Swiss-army knife of
debuggers. This is something that has happen in the last 2 years. That ARM11
project started 3 years ago and ended 9 months later.

Nope. J-Link works with ARM11, I myself use IAR with a Phytec i.MX35 and
it just works fine.

And thats not $$$$$$, only $$$ :-)

Come on,

as Kevin pointed out, any compiler besides plain GNU that you would purchase costs a multiple of J-Link. If you are "acquiring" the compilers other than a legal license, you should not ask for support.
So, you ask whether a $300 tool will support Keil (several k$ or CrossWorks >1k$), yes it does and it is penny wise and pound foolish to make a decision based on this fact.

Nevertheless, going with Keil I would also go with ULink2 because this combination has been tested in every detail. I have a J-Link and it works with Keil and IAR that's for sure. There are Application Notes on the segger.com website about using J-Link with GNU, there is a document on the Rowley website how to use J-Link with Crossworks. Now, please go and purchase one and try it out yourself.

I have just received an EKK-LM3S9B96 Stellaris evaluation kit; inside
there is an usb-jtag adapter based on a FTDI chip that has a jtag plus a
rs232-jtag interface. I think it would work with every common ide
because TI/Luminary sells the same kit for Keil, GCC/CodeSourcery and
IAR ide/compilers, it could be a cheaper alternative also compared with
Olimex USB-OCD also if you buy a Stellaris evaluation kit.
I will test with ARM ides and then I will post the results.

Any body tried the j-link debugger with(choices for compilers) GNU arm GCC
,Keil IDE(with all compilers which keil supports) and Cross works,Open OCD

I'd say if you can afford to buy ALL compilers available for ARM, the price of an extra HW debugger or two should be peanuts when the real (rather than theoretical) need arises. The J-Link probably represents the most well-rounded option in terms of IDE/HW-support ... but if you want to work with every possible ARM platform known to man, it's going to cost a lot more money than a $300 debugger.

Why don't you just ask Segger ?!

Yes, i got information that most of them are using J-link debugger.Will it
support for ARM7 and Cortex,ARM11 WITH ALL compilers?

i am mainly looking for ARM7 and ARM9 (ARM 11 if possible) related
debuggers?
