Description Thorsten Heit 2001-09-03 15:35:27 UTC 
It seems that the debugger process that is started when I'm using the internal
debugger doesn't always terminate correctly. Instead it sometimes continues to
run in the background and has to be killed manually from the command line.

Unfortunately I didn't discover so far under which circumstances the debugger
continues to run; it seems that it is always terminated when I manually stop the
debugging process.

This happens both on MacOS X (10.0.4 with Apple JDK 1.3.0) and on PC (Windows
2000, JDK 1.3.1)

We know about this problem. This happens on Hotspot VM
and mainly (only?) when the debugged process is not finished
by System.exit() call - e.g. when it is finished by the finish
of all threads.

It is a problem of JDK and we cannot do anything with it.
I do not have much information about JDK on Mac, but on WIN
platform it should be fixed in JDK1.3.0_04 and in JDK1.4beta2.
You can also try to use Classic VM for debugging - change the Classic
Switch property of the Default Debugging
(in Project Settings|Debugger Types).
