When using Eclipse as the AUT and trying to start the Java debugger it is possible that an error occurs which results in a dialog like this popping up:¶
Problem Occurred
'Launching myapp' has encountered a problem.
Cannot connect to VM socket closed
|OK|¶
The console view shows:
NPT ERROR: Cannot open library
Solution¶
To avoid this problem unset the environment variable JDK_ALTERNATE_VM
before starting Eclipse. This could be done, for example, in a batch file:
set _JDK_ALTERNATE_VM=%JDK_ALTERNATE_VM%
set JDK_ALTERNATE_VM=
eclipse -vm "%_JDK_ALTERNATE_VM%"
