Description clever 2004-03-11 14:34:54 UTC 
I realize that it's possible to 'debug' a web
application, which in turn starts Tomcat with
debugging enabled.  It would be intuitive to
perhaps have an option (above the debugging
options for the Tomcat instance) that read
something to the nature of "Enable debugging: [
true | false ]" This way, one could explicitly
start tomcat through the various ways, and
debugging would always be enabled. This would
allow for just attaching and detaching when a
debug is needed.

This is needed if one wants to use bundled Tomcat with freeform
project. Otherwise people have no chance to start the server in debug
mode from IDE and they would have to hack the tomcat's scripts. It's
quite late for D release, but I'll try to propose some easy solution
as this seems to be quite important.

I added the button to the start server dialog. This can be rethinked
when we change the server ui later on.
