Newbie has been stuck for weeks tryig to get stop on breakpoint.

[Christopher Mark Balz]

I've been posting once every 10 days for weeks, and hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Problem:
-------
Not able to get any use out of jdebug yet.

With What:
---------
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Java 1.4 SDK, Tomcat 3.3 Servlet Engine, GNU Emacs 21.2.1, JDE 2.2.8, a web application that I'm trying to debug, compiled with -g option, running Tomcat from startup.bat with normal successful operation, have TOMCAT_OPTS set to:
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=6001,server=y,suspend=n

Description:
-----------
I've gotten as far as successfully attaching to the Tomcat (v3.3) Server process. See below for output. The web application that I am trying to debug does not seem to stop at the breakpoint I set. When I try to Display->Variable, I get an obscure error message referring to an 'unbound slot'.

Other Stuff that May Matter:
---------------------------
On the JDE FAQ page, I noticed that it recommended starting the web server from the JDE. Since tomcat.bat and tomcat.sh are a few hundred lines long, I don't know if this is the best option. Is it necessary?

I found the simplified Tomcat startup commands in startup.sh, created a project file, and set the variables indicated in the FAQ entry. But then on JDE->Run App, it used javaw (?I am not using AWT) and the -v option, which crashed the starting of the vm. Any comments?

Thank You in Advance!
