The JDEbug User's Guide states that if you use the Launch Process command,
you must set breakpoints AFTER launching the process. The guide explains in
detail why this is so.
===============================================================
Launching a Process
In this guide, a process refers to a running instance of an application.
JDEBug provides two commands for launching processes.
JDEbug->Processes->Launch Process
This command launches an instance of the application whose main class is
specified by the variable jde-run-application-class, or, if this variable is
nil, the application in the current Java source buffer. The debugger
suspends the debuggee process before it enters the application's main
method. At this point, you should set one or more breakpoints in the
application and select the Run command from the JDEbug menu. The process
will then run to the first breakpoint at which point you can continue to the
next breakpoint or single-step the process.
JDE->Debug App
This command performs the following actions:
* Starts the debugger, if necessary.
* Launches the application.
* Sets any breakpoints you have previously specified (see Setting
Breakpoints).
* Runs the application.
Note With this command, the application will simply run to completion
without stopping, if you have not previously specified any valid breakpoints
for the application or none of the breakpoints exist on the main execution
path.

Please explain how this text could be made clearer.
