It was more than 4 years ago. Before Eclipse, before IDEA. Lots of
things were primitive about app server development.  Of course that
would lead some to argue that because of all the changes the
experience is much improved and I should give it another try. I'm not
disputing that it might be easier now, just that since I've given up
reliance on the debugger, I have no desire to go back.

Any case someone can find for claiming remote debugging is needed I
can demonstrate a variety of ways that solve the problem and add
lasting value to the system and development team's understanding of
it.
