I had a debugging problem with Intellij IDEA that I couldn't figure out and eventually I found a note about it in their Knowledge base: Debug problem using target JDK 1.3.1_07 or 1.3.1_08.
I spent ages trying to figure this out. I could use the software fine in production mode but when I went to debug it wouldn't work at all. I checked and rechecked all my settings, blamed Windows XP, exhausted every avenue. When I found it was a JDK bug I nearly fell of my seat. The solution: drop back to an older version but the older versions are (easily) available for download. sigh...
What's more when I installed JDK 1.4 I swear it just went ahead and installed it in the root of c: without asking for my preference.
What a waste of time... nasty JDK 1.3.1_07/08.. we hates it.
