Remote debugging is the process of debugging a program that is running on a different computer. This technique is useful when you are developing a program that runs on a web server or on a different environment than the computer on which you are developing the program.

To start a remote debugging session:

  1. On the computer where program is located, start the program in debugging mode. See your VM documentation for instructions on starting a program in debugging mode. For the Sun Microsystems Java Virtual Machine, the options can be found at:

  2. On the computer where the IDE is running, open the projects that contain the source for the program.
  3. Choose Run > Attach Debugger.
  4. Select the connector type and enter any required process information, then click OK. See your VM documentation for information about the connectors it provides.
