What are Java command line options to set to allow JVM to be remotely debugged?

Question

I know there are some JAVA_OPTS to set to remotely debug a Java program.

What are they and what do they mean?

Answer 1

I possess this article bookmarked on fixing this up for Java 5 and beneath.

Basically run it with:

-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044

For Java 5 and above, try it with:

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=1044
