Remote Debugging

    Eclipse enables us to debug remote programs as long as the remote server supports this feature. For example, I started Tomcat outside
of Eclipse, on Windows XP, using the catalina.bat file using the following commands on the command line (notice the two environment
variables that need to be set in advance):
    set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000
    set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket
    catalina jpda start
    Incidentally, JPDA stands for the Java Platform Debugger Architecture (architecture for remote debugging; java.sun.com). After starting
Tomcat, I was able to connect to it using the Run, Debug, Remote Java Application (right-click New) option.
