It is impossible to debug ME project started in OTA mode. To run in OTA mode ME plugin uses 3 commands: 1. -Xjam:install to install app 2. -Xjam:list to find installed app 3. -Xjam:run to run app found at step 2. The problem is that debug arguments (-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp...) are appended to the first (-Xjam:install) command, when they must be appended to the last (-Xjam:run) command only. The bug is in org.netbeans.modules.j2me.common.ant.RunTask class
Also, I noted that project properties are not always saved. E.g. I tried to debug project in Regular Execution mode, than switched to OTA Execution mode and started debug project again. If repeat these two steps several times switching between execution modes stops working. E.g. I switch to OTA mode, but project is started in Regular Execution mode, however, project properties shows that OTA mode is selected. After restart of NetBeans project properties shows Regular Execution mode again when it was set to OTA mode before closing NetBeans.
Due to the second problem debugger can stop working in Regular Execution mode since internally OTA mode is used.

If debug arguments are moved to Xjam:run command, then midlet doesn't start at all. In emulator it hangs with status "Starting". Command is as following (for concrete run, with concrete address): emulator -Xdevice:"EmbeddedDevice1" -Xjam:run=1 -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=50261
Yes, you are right. Since OTA mode does not have a console, the emulator.exe exists immediately when the command is completed. "-Xjam:run" command just run an application, but does not wait its completion. It means, that debugger port is closed immediatelly when emulator.exe exits. Therefore, debugger is not supported in OTA mode. So, to fix this issue, "Debug" command must always start emulator in Regular Execution mode (however, the mode itself should be kept in project properties).
fixed in jet-main: http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/323a1c92a239 (In reply to alexander.burdukov from comment #4) > So, to fix this issue, "Debug" command must always start emulator in Regular > Execution mode (however, the mode itself should be kept in project > properties). Debug now starts always in Regular Execution, project properties are not changed.
