[Windows XP, NetBeans 4.0 FCS, JDK 1.4.2_06] I started appserver, opened properties of JVMs node and changed debug-options to use socket (-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1055). I stopped appserver and started debugger (Debug on web application root node). Debugger successfuly started and connected, but it ued shared memory. I looked at debug properties and all my changes were lost.
Socket debugging is not supported by AS plugin on Windows. Nevertheless user should be better informed about nonsupported socket debugging. Downgrading to P3.
I think the jdk bug was fixed in 1.5 ans 1.4.2-06 so that we can remove the workaround. See jdk bugs in http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=52346
