Debugging's "attach to process" broke.

Somehow,
Attach to process from "java.exe" does not work since I reinstalled everything.
"java.exe" gets expanded to the the full path, Q:\sdk\jdk1.6.0_14\bin\java.exe

Which does not match the process in the process list, as launched by Netbeans.

It used to work, but now instead of just hitting f5, I must use two menus, search and click. Visual Studio is simply terrible. How can a product with so many iterations stink so bad?

...
Anyway the trick to getting f5 to work again was to use
Q:\sdk\jdk1.6.0_14\jre\bin\java.exe

Note the "jre" in there.

Sigh. For whatever reason , MSVC stores this debugging info on a
per-user level, with not even a shadow in the project's .vsproj XML file.

So there is no easy way to store this setting with the project.
