Hi all,
where can I find jwdp documentation (including list of arguments) for
Java 9+?
Background:
A colleague of mine ran into this issue:
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 (I've tried finding
the change in the JDK repositories to no avail)
That's a confidential CR, so you won't be able to access it. Any
relevant info you need you should be able to find in JDK-8175050. The
changeset can be found here:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/rev/030dae646c6b
There is a comment about updating docus, but the links are no longer
valid:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8175050?focusedCommentId=14053881&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14053881

This CR was filed to update the docs:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8175313
But unfortunately it was closed as Will Not Fix for reasons I don't
understand. So I don't think the user impact of JDK-8041435 was ever
adequately documented.
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
The jdwp spec is of very little interest to anyone other than debugger
writers and those that work on the debug agent. Users of the debug agent
won't find anything useful in the jdwp spec. As Alan mention,
conninv.html is the place to look as a user of the debug agent.

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
