Description Jiri Sedlacek 2007-08-23 20:02:52 UTC 
Currently the information provided for dynamic attach to Java Application are as follows:

 Step 1: Start the Application using JDK 6.0.
 Step 2: While the application is running, you can connect to it using the PID method.

These should be updated according to differences between JFluid 1.4.2 VM and JDK6 VM dynamic attach differences:

 1/ Not only the application but also the IDE needs to be running on JDK6
 2/ Originally there were two dynamic attach "methods" for JFluid VM: Ctrl+Break and PID method. Now there's just the 
PID method available for JDK6 so it doesn't need to be specified this way - instead more concrete hint could be 
provided like "after clicking the Attach button, select the process you want to attach to..."

updated instructions in attach wizard:
* when performing dynamic attach there is a warning about necessity to run IDE on JDK6/7 too
* the last step is updated to reflect the fact that the only mean for dynamic attach is PID method now
