      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      We need to document how one can run a Java Webstart application in debug mode. We need the ability to attach a jpda debug session and/or jconsole to monitor the application's execution.

      I believe this capability already exists (by passing a certain sequence of arguments to javaw.exe instead of javaws.exe), but it isn't publically documented and no one has gotten it to work 100% on the discussion forums.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      I have run into many bugs that only occur while running under Webstart. It is extremely difficult to fix them without the ability to use conventional debugging tools.
