I didn't mean to send out that message; it was not entirely finished.
That "Send/Receive" button does indeed send postponed messages...

I have run some additional tests and found that IBM's Eclipse IDE had
the same problem that you reported -- it failed to stop at breakpoints
set in a debuggee running IBM JDK 1.3. I also found that JSwat did
eventually work with the IBM JDK. Don't know what was going wrong with
the first few attempts.

Additionally, I found that if you run Tomcat using the JavaSoft JDK 1.4,
everything works fine. Both JSwat and Eclipse set breakpoints that cause
the VM to halt. The debuggers were running with the IBM JDK.

So, it looks like there's something fishy with the IBM 1.3 JDK. The
problem is not limited to JSwat. If you run the debuggee with the latest
JavaSoft JDK it should work okay.

P.S. I also noticed that the IBM 1.4 JDK is only available for the S/390
at this time. Go figure.
