[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Debugging JBoss with Eclipse ** Need More Help!

[Rick Horowitz <rickhoro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm... seems I can't remotely debug JBoss and set breakpoints. Well, 
that's disappointing! Sounds like the only alternative is to create a 
project (or is it a set of projects with which to run JBoss).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. In the mean time, I'll respond to 
Igor's msg in this thread to further investigate that alternative.

Thanks,

Rick
