[FIXED] What are Java command line options to set to allow JVM to be remotely debugged?

Issue

I know there's some JAVA_OPTS to set to remotely debug a Java program.

What are they and what do they mean ?

Solution

I have this article bookmarked on setting this up for Java 5 and below.

Basically run it with:

-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044

For Java 5 and above, run it with:

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044
