Hello,
Following is a patch to jde.debugger.Application.java to set the -classic
flag as an VM Launching Connector Argument to attach the classic VM:
345c345,355
< commandLine += quote + iterator.next() + quote + " ";
---
> String arg = (String)iterator.next();
> if (arg.equalsIgnoreCase("-classic")) {
> Connector.Argument optionsArg =
> (Connector.Argument)argumentMap.get("options");
> String options = optionsArg.value();
> options = "-classic" + " " + options;
> optionsArg.setValue(options);
> signal(MESSAGE, "VM options: '" + options + "'");
> }
> else
> commandLine += quote + arg + quote + " ";
The "options" connector argument must be used to set options, in addition
to the standard debugging options.
In the current version of Application.java the -classic option is set as an
application command line argument and not recognized as a valid VM option.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
David

Here is a transcript of a JDEBug session using the -classic option:
Line 1 javaw -classpath
d:/jde-2.1.6beta9/java/lib/jde.jar;d:/jpda/lib/jpda.jar jde.debugger.Main
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4 (jde-dbo-init-debug-session)
Line 5
Line 6 JDE> -1 1 launch 1 -use_executable javaw -classic -classpath
d:/jmath/classes;d:/jmath/src jmath.Test
Line 7
Line 8
Line 9
Line 10 (jde-dbo-command-error
Line 11 1 "VM initialization failed for:
D:\Applications\JavaSoft\JRE\1.2\bin\javaw -Xdebug -Xnoagent
-Djava.compiler=NONE
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_shmem,address=javadebug,suspend=y -classic
-classpath d:/jmath/classes;d:/jmath/src jmath.Test")
Line 1 Starts the debugger.
Line 4 Acknowledgement from the debugger.
Line 6 Launch command. Note inclusion of the -classic option as first of
the user-supplied arguments.
Line 7 Error message showing the command line that the debugger attempted
to use to start the application.
Note that the user-supplied arguments, e.g., -classic, -classpath,
come after the arguments generated
by the debugger.
I haven't yet checked Amit's code so I don't know whether the problem lies
with the JDEBug java code or with JPDA.
