Debugger hangs

Hi,

Whenever I run the debugger, the IDE hangs. I can see debugger messages printed on the output window. The Windows window is OK - I can resize, minimize, etc., and Task Manager shows CPU usage etc. to be normal. But within the IDE all is dead - menus, buttons etc. don't respond to the mouse or the keyboard, and the windows don't redraw.

Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas about how to fix it?

I found some questions in the knowledge base on this site that mentioned setting the "classic debugger" property to false, which I've done.

Cheers,

Ciaran

No problem. But in any case, FYI: there is a well-known bug in JDK 1.4.1 and the debugger of Sun ONE Studio/NetBeans. The IDE hangs as a result of this bug. This affects all kinds of debugging, J2EE, J2SE and J2ME. This is currently being resolved. In the meantime, you can use the following workaround:

Install the previous version of the JDK, 1.4.0 and modify the ide.cfg in the <forte root>/bin directory to point to the older JDK.

Note: I've heard that people who have downgraded to JDK 1.3.1.xx find it easier to get the workaround to work.

You can also check out the Knowledge Base entry where this issue is addressed at http://forte.sun.com/cgi-bin/WebX?14@@.ee825d6.
