Could not establish debug connection to localhost from Eclipse using AEM tools

[Clive_Stewart]

I have started my instance using the following command line

 java -Xms1024m -Xmx2024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -jar cq-author-4502.jar -debug 30303 -nofork -gui

If I select "connect to server in runmode " Ithe localhost server in the AEM perspective shows [Synchronized] next to it.

However from the AEM perspective when I try "connect to server in debug mode" I get

Could not establish debug connection to localhost : 30303
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
Connection refused

My server connection is set as

Port:    4052

Debug Port:    30303

contect path:    /

Username:    admin

password:   admin

servername:    localhost

host name:     localhost

runtime environment:   Adobe Experience Manager

configuration path:     /Servers/localhost-congig

Install:    option "install bundles directly from the filesystem" selected

Publishing: option "never publish automatically" selected.
