I discussed this with Martin G. for a while and he asked that I file it. Here is all the info we were able to collect in the email thread. Tomcat is started from the IDE by the test. However, I believe it is also stopped. The end of the case does: Debug->Finish and hits okay on the Finish Debugging Sessions dialog It then tries to Stop Tomcat if necessary by going to the runtime tab, navigating to Server Registry->Tomcat...->http and checking whether it's running. I think it decides in the actual run that this is not necessary after the finish debug, but let me know if it should be. From Martin - Finish debugger does not stop Tomcat - it only detaches debugger from it. If Tomcat wasn't stopped before, then it should really be stopped when IDE exits - so there may be some problem there...does it disappear after a minute? What happens if you try to open an url on that Tomcat (like, http://localhost:8084/ if 8084 is the port on which it is running) - does it open a page or you get some error page - what error? From me: I launched a browser and put in http://localhost:8084/MyJSP.jsp which is my jsp and it brought back the data - so that is proof that it's still running. The process doesn't disappear unless I kill it. Here's the ps info: /opt/jdk/1.4.2/SunOS//bin/java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp -Djava. It is truncated, but shows the debug still there.
