I am having the same problem as indicated by this thread. How do I debug GlassFish 3 using Eclipse Helios?
I did use the "debug" instead "run" on the glassfish 3.1.1 server. Eclipse is Indigo. OEPE 11.1.1.8. I have a customized domain in which I changed all the port numbers, for server debug port, I used 10009. I am able to start the server, but the debugger is not working and shows "Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused." Eclipses log shows:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.jdt.launching 4 113 2011-12-01 10:29:42.602
!MESSAGE Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.

I am using jdk1.7 (OEPE declares it supports up to 1.6, but I don't a simple socket connection for debugger won't work due to this).
