Debugging applets though IE6 [message #209113]

Hello. I have a java applet that I am trying to debug. The applet needs
to be able to run in IE6.

How do I set up the Eclipse debugger and JRE to debug the applet in an
already running instance of IE?

Thanks :)

I'd guess that IE is using the Microsoft VM? If so, I reckon you're out
of luck, as their VM is hacked up and Eclipse can't grok it.

No...Microsoft had to stop developing MSJVM because of the huge Sun
lawsuit years ago...so they have to use whatever JVM is on the
machine...not just their own.

I am using the latest Sun JVM on my machine, and also have MSJVM installed
(although I disabled it so that I can debug with Sun.) I'm attempting to
port MSJVM applets over to Sun JVM applets.

Set up the VM for remote debugging (VM arguments -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:.....
look up the proper arguments in your JDK documentation). Then run your
applet. The VM now waits for a connection from the IDE.

From the package explorer, select Debug As->Debug... Create a new
"Remote Java Application" launch configuration. fill in the proper
values and press "debug".

Voila, Bob's your uncle.
