Description David-john Burrowes 2002-05-28 23:20:36 UTC 
debugging a large program can be a problem from
NetBeans.  For instance, some java programs are
started via shell scripts, and it isn't currently
possible to start these and directly attach to the
VM that these create.  For sever based things,
there may also be problems with requiring that the
server be started separately and then attached to
from the debugger interface.

I suppose the feature suggestion is to provide a
way to define the "bootstrap" of a debugee and
then automatically attach to it. (so, for
instance, NetBeans might run the shell script,
find the process that results from that, and then
automatically attaches to that).  Or, it might
start a server and attach to that automatically.

This is close to issue #18708 - see my comment from 23 May 2002.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-01-08 03:38:55 UTC 
Isn't it in fact a duplicate of issue #18708?
Comment 3 David-john Burrowes 2004-01-08 17:54:05 UTC 
I'm not sure if it is a duplicate.  18708 seems to presuppose that the
user is willing and able to write an ant task to do this kind of
thing.  I think *this* particular issue was asking for something more
general than that.  I think I agree with Marian that they are just
very close cousins.

This is obsolete after introducing ant based projects
Comment 5 Quality Engineering 2010-04-29 09:10:25 UTC 
Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
