I am using JDE2.3.3beta5 on win2k and am debugging my application remotely. The remote application uses the shared memory. I am able to break at a point, and do step in, step over etc. But when I try to list the local variables it gives me the following error locals Method arguments: Local variables: Internal exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.tools.example.debug.tty.Commands.printVar(Commands.java:1434) at com.sun.tools.example.debug.tty.Commands.commandLocals(Commands.java:147 2) at com.sun.tools.example.debug.tty.TTY.executeCommand(TTY.java:247) at com.sun.tools.example.debug.tty.TTY.<init>(TTY.java:539) at com.sun.tools.example.debug.tty.TTY.main(TTY.java:830) AWT-EventQueue-0[1] Cheers, JK
