Hi all,
where can I find jwdp documentation (including list of arguments) for
Java 9+?
Unfortunately we seem to be missing links to all of the specs in the
JDK 9, 10 and 11, documentation bundles online. They reappear again
with Java 12:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/12/docs/specs/
Unfortunately even with the link to the specs in place, it's still hard
getting to the conninv.html file that Alan referenced. You start by
clicking on Java Platform Debugger Architecture, which takes you to:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/12/docs/specs/jpda/jpda.html
Then you scroll to the very bottom and click on the Service Provider
Interface link, which takes you to conninv.html. You can find
documentation for the debug agent command line options in the Oracle VM
Invocation Options section.

Background:
A colleague of mine ran into this issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8175050
<https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8175050>
I've since read that with Java 9+ also the hostname should be
specified, to ensure remote debugging is possible. All fine.
However I fail to find where this is documented. I'm unable to access
the ticket for the change:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8041435
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8041435> (I've tried
finding the change in the JDK repositories to no avail)
There is a comment about updating docus, but the links are no longer
valid:

Last mention I find about jdwp and its parameters is for Java 8:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/jpda/jdwp-spec.html
<https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/jpda/jdwp-spec.html>
I do find blog posts and e.g. github PRs mentioning the problem and
resolutions. But I would like to quote an actual source and
documentation for our internal wikis.
Best regards and thanks,
Simeon
