If I have a file MyProg.java, with your patch I get:

Could not find source file MyProg

i.e. the class name not the filename.

Have you read this comment in gud.el?

       ;; The first group matches <fully-qualified-class>,
       ;; the second group matches <class> and the third group
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
       ;; matches <line-number>.  We don't care about using

Generally, if there is more than one (non-public) class in the file, the
class name needn't match the filename.
