First off --I now have 2.2.9beta 9.1 and jde 2.2.8 behaving identically with debug woes --this is progress. Cause of the differences was that 2.2.9 uses variable jde-debugger --earlier versions used jde-db-debugger-- and jde-debugger was set to jdb by default.
I am still having bizarre debugger connect problems. Most of the time the debugger says emacs failed to connect to the jvm --and the jvm gets left running -- -- Best Regards, --raman ------------------------------------------------------------ T. V.
