    Hello

    I am trying to get remote debugging working with Tomcat 5.0.25.
    Following the instructions at this site,
    http://jakarta.apache.org/site/idedev-rdeclipse.html

    I got Eclipse to connect to the Tomcat JVM, it properly displays
    all the threads running within the JVM. But when I open my servlet
    source and try to set a breakpoint, prior to invoking the servlet,
    Eclipse complains with the following message:

    "Breakpoint can neither be added nor removed at current text location."

    I tried this at several places in the code, but no success.
    If I run the same servlet as a java application w/ local debugging,
    I CAN set breakpoint at the same line.

    Can anyone please help me idenfity what I am missing? I did add
    the directory of the java file to the Source path, but no difference.

    Thx!!
    Roy
