You must also start the VM you intend to debug with some options to allow a
remote debugger to connect. I don't have the details in front of me, but you
should be able to find them easily. Are you trying to debug a webapp? If so
you will need to configure the appserver you are using to allow a debugger
to connect. For a standalone app it's just a couple command line args.
