Can't start debugger [message #60336] Mon, 02 May 2005 00:19 Go to next message

I have been having no luck getting the eclipse debugger to start. Every
time I try, I get a dialog stating it can't connect to the VM. The details
say java.net.SocketException: Connection reset. This happens even with a
"Hello World" console app. I have another box (a laptop) which works fine.
I have comapred all the security settings I can think of and the two boxes
are identical, as are all the java and eclipse settings. I must have
missed something relevant, though!

Both boxes are running Win XP Pro service pack 2, eclipse 3.0.2, and JRE
1.5.0_02-b09. All apps run fine, they just can not be debugged.

Does anyone have any ideas what I have missed?

Many thanks,
Dave Head

Sounds like your firewall is getting in the way of the local connection?

Firewall? What firewall? I assume the debugger is trying to connect via
localhost. I have disabled the SP2 firewall, although I wouldn't think it
should have anything to do with it. The other box (the laptop) has the
same firewall configuration as the desktop (and it works!).

Confused, but thanks for the pointer.

You need to use a JDK. The JRE doesn't include the libraries for
establishing the debug connection.
