I ran into this issue too (I've just recently started using JDEE).  I
found a couple of references to this in the archive a couple of
years back with no discernible resolution. 

I tried using a recently launched emacs with bare-bones init 
file following your observation above.  It still resulted in 
frequent hangs.  I also tried playing with vm options again
with no improvement.

My setup is: WinXP sp2: GNU Emacs 21.3.1, JDE 2.3.5.1, jdk1.6.0

Its hard for me to believe that debugging is that flaky with JDEE
(editing is excellent).  So, if you're running jdb (preferred)
or JDEbug successfully, day-to-day, I'll appreciate if you 
could share your setup with me (in terms any customizations 
or specific vm arguments etc.)

Please email me and I'll summarize any anecdotal issues.  Thanks.
