Description Jacek Pospychala CLA 2010-03-17 11:19:36 EDT
Every time I want to run remote debugging session, It takes me ages to find the right parameter to use on client side. Typically it's something like:

-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000

Once, in my previous job, I even had this noted down somewhere on my desk, and after a while whole team used it.

So I suggest we add a hint somewhere on the Remote Debug launch configuration like:
 "Usually you should all following command line argument to launch remote debug: -Xrunjdwp:...."

Actually, suggested cmdline param should be:

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=localhost:8000
