Tested in build 20011126-1007, JDK1.3.1-b24, Solaris 8. - from template create new Main class - add a line to main method and toggle breakpoint on it - start debugger - debugger should stop on breakpoint - continue degugging - debugger will finish (no session running) but if you check processes (ps -ef| grep java) you see a java process stay alive If you repeat these steps several times, you notice several processes occupying your computer. They stay alive even after you shut IDE down and they start to decrease computer speed.
This is caused by a bug in JDK 1.3.1-b24. The bug is fixed in JDK 1.3.1_01. Please use final version of JDK - currently JDK 1.3.1_01.
