"Attach Debugger" dialog is important and I think that it deserves Help button and detailed info inside IDE help. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200804032041) Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1250; cs_CZ (nb)
There should be at least some hint how to start the remote application (debug options).
Fixed? I can see Help button in Attach dialog and it shows "Starting a Remote Debugging Session".
Thanks for the notice. The help page contains a link to http://java.sun.com/products/jpda/doc/conninv.html where are further links to the connect options for particular JDK versions.
