        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        java version "1.8.0_60"
        Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
        Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode, sharing)

        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
        Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        When the Java plugin is given runtime parameters to enable debugging, the plugin hangs and eventually dies if the applet is launched via JNLP, and contains any java-vm-args parameters.

        REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u51

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        In the 32 bit 8u60 control panel, provide the following runtime parameters:

        -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8000,suspend=n

        Compile the test applet code, place the resulting classes into "TestApplet.jar", and then add the directory containing the jar to the trusted site list. Click on the HTML file to launch the applet.

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        The applet should run, and display "Applet loaded"
        ACTUAL -
        The VM hangs for a while, and eventually dies.

        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.

        CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
        Either do not set the runtime parameters to enable debugging, or remove the "java-vm-args" attribute from the JNLP file.
