How many have you actually seen?
omniscient
I get an invalid 'CEN' header message.
Inputting command line arguments to Omnienscent
I am struggling with entering command line arguments. my program takes in an IP address and two switches off the command line.
I am looking at the .bat files you meantioned that are in the jar. I am still working this.
Any help appreciated ASAP.

Inputting command line arguments to Omnienscent
J,
Bil here.
Depending on what you're trying to do, you should be able to just type:
% debug MyProgram arg1 arg2 arg3
If there's any confusion or odd Windows interactions, you can always take the .bat file apart. It is nothing more than a wrapper for:
% java Debugger MyProgram arg1 arg2 arg3
(and a few extra flags for heap size etc.)
The switches can be tricky and you might wish to add them to the .bat file, or just type them in yourself:
% java -DMySwitch Debugger MyProgram arg1 arg2
Of course, you should run the demo version first to get the hang of it before running your own programs:
% debug (and push "Demo")
Good luck, let me know how it goes,
-Bil
attach to process ?
Indeed this debugger is very powerfull - thank you, but I do have a question please:
Haw can you ATTACH to a process? If my understanding is correct you can only debug a application that is start by debugger itself thus very limited for distributed applicaitions.
