[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Re: Debug in Eclipse

[David M. Karr <davidmichaelkarr@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you believe you're connected from the debugger, do you see the current list of threads in the "Debug" pane in the Debug perspective?  If so, then your JPDA connection is ok.  If it's empty, then you didn't connect for some reason.

If you're not connected, install the "Process Explorer" tool from the http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx web site. When you run it, right-click in the column headers in the top pane listing processes, and select "Select Columns". Turn on the "Command Line" checkbox and click OK. Then, find the "java" process that is associated with your server and double-click on that row in the process list. Look in the "Command Line" field for the "-Xdebug" and related arguments.

For instance, reading from my local WebLogic server, I see this:

-Xdebug -Xnoagent  -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8453,server=y,suspend= n
