2) Start JBoss Server in Eclipse debug context
3) Graceful shutdown of JBoss Server
4) Monitor JBoss output from Eclipse console
5) Fix-and-Go debugging of EJBs, Servlets, and Controller logic using JDK 1.4 HotSwap feature
6) How-To documentation

It whould be nice if the plugin work with WSAD 4.0.2 and JBOss 2.4.3.
Thanks

what is WSAD? Some win-program?

How is the status of running jboss 3.x on sun's jdk 1.4 (which is needed to use all of the features of the plugin, it seems)?

[mkotsbak]

But it is possible to debug jboss 3.x EJBs with 1.3 jdk?

If so, how do I do it? Doesn't it need to be a connection from the deployed jars and the sourcecode (of my beans) with breakpoints?

Forget my last post post. It actually works :-) The only thing missing with jdk 1.3 is Fix-and-Go debugging.
