I am not sure if the
following can be accomplished by simply starting a process in the Debugger
instead of runing it but here it goes:
We are developing a
lot of server side processes. I just run these processes within the IDE so I can
simply do fixes without going though a full build/deployment cycle before a fix
can be tested. It would be great if I could attach a debugger to a running
process with a number of breakpoints that only get triggered if I am trying to
trace a bug in a running process. It would be even greater if I can later detach
the debugger so the process can resume running without the added overhead of a
debugger.
It would also be
great if I could do some simple scripting to gather information or change some
runtime settings with something like pnuts (http://javacenter.sun.co.jp/pnuts/)
on a running process.
