Applet debugging : what is -classic parameter

The -classic parameter tells the JDK to use the classic JVM rather than
the HotSpot JVM. I think debugging under JDK 1.3.x worked better in the
classic JVM for some reason, but I've forgotten the details.

I'd say with JDK 1.3.x debugging is usable only if the debuggee is launched in the classic mode.

Try unchecking "Force classic VM for JDK 1.3.x" in Settings | Debugger. Does
it work then?

Yes it works fine now, thanks.
This made me think about one question : is there somewhere an
option to launch Run/debug with different jdks (and be able to switch
them quickly) instead of changing project settings. If not, it would be
be cool to have that option
