Answer 2

The issue was with the JDK in use .... replaced the ORACLE JDK 7 with ORACLE JRE 8 and that resolved the issue.

Answer 3

Do you happens to be using IBM JDK to launch the workbench? There is an existing problem that we are tracking on the debug support using that combination. If you happens to be using that, can you try using an Orcale JDK 8 to see if that resolves the problem?
