Will fix it. Commands have to be defined if we want to add key bindings (CTRL-1 ..., for instance). I think key bindings don't mean to much in this case because they have to be defined dynamically and the user can't know what key binding is associated with some application. However if you think key bindings would be usable here, I will add them.

> disconnect debug
> select project 2 - remote debug
> select project 2 - configure

>    "default" remote debug launch is still associated with project 1

This is a bug. Will fix it ASAP. I will also add the following functionality:
- when the user selects both of the projects (or more than two projects), all the selected projects will be included in the source attachment.

> Caused by: sun.jvmstat.monitor.MonitorException: Could not synchronize with target

I have noticed that problem. It happens when the application is started with the "suspend=y" option and no debug session is attached.
The MonitoredVmUtil.jvmArgs and MonitoredVmUtil.isAttachable methods throw this exception (you can also check this using your snippet). JConsole shows only PID for such applications and it isn't possible to connect to them. We can skip the isAttachable method, but we can't find any port without the jvmArgs method. It seems we can't discover a suspended application this way.
I will try to find a solution for this issue. Since we can find PID of an application, I will try to find a port that is opened by the application. I think this can be performed using netstat on Linux and Windows and lsof on Mac OS X.

> It would be helpful if Eclipse could provide a 'debug as' with auto discover of local java processes, somewhat like jconsole does. Eclipse should also auto associate the debug session with the current project. 
> 'debug as' -> 'remote process x'
