Hi Rob,

>From Sun's JPDA doc / Connection and Invocation Deatils:
"The -Xnoagent and -Djava.compiler=NONE options are not required;
however, for compatibility, these options are accepted and ignored."
So, what is left is:
java -Xdebug
runjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5000
com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer
Does it make a difference, with regard to debugging, if using -jar
orion.jar instead of com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer?

So in my opion it doesn't help when using an application server and the
method I want to debug isn't invoked directly by its main thread.

What do you mean by "files were compiled with netbeans"? Do I have to
use the "internal compiler"?
Well, on thing I recognized: The breakpoint doesn't seem to be invoked
when I copied the compiled .class file to its destination under orion. I
had to compile it directly to this directory.
