Yes, the application contains several EJB3 beans, and I'm aware of the usual deployment time. I also checked run.bat for a line like the one you posted, but there's only one, and it's commented. anonymous wrote : | rem JPDA options. Uncomment and modify as appropriate to enable remote debugging. | rem set JAVA_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=y %JAVA_OPTS% | And no, what I'm trying to debug is the application running on the server, after it's been deployed.
