Paul,
I don't remember any changes to the format for 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2 - but
Gordon,
the JDB guy, is on vacation. I also looked through the code and didn't
see
anything, but I might have missed something indirect.
Are you sure you are using the JDB in the SDK (the kit formerly known as
JDK) and not the JDB example in the JPDA? The new example definitely
has
alot of changes but Amit's code should be in place long before that hits
the streets in the SDK.
If it is still an issue, send detailed info including SDK versions and
the differing strings to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
