I\'m trying to debug an applet for 2 days now and I\'ve gone over every solution posted on this site, but i can\'t find my mistake.
At my Java Runtime Environment Se
Sun already fixed that, and the fix will be included in Java 1.7.0 update 40 (released in late August)
Here is the bug-report: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8016154
There is a early access for update 40: http://jdk7.java.net/download.html
I have not yet tried this but maybe it helps someone out there.
EDIT: Update 40 is now released, I tried it again but it still won't work... I will continue trying, maybe i did something wrong.
It seems that 1.7 will not support Applet Debugging... the resolution of the bug is added in 1.8

Good thing I found your question/answer, otherwise I might've banged my head the whole day trying to figure out the problem.
