Intellij remote debugging: change connection timeout

votes

I'm trying to debug a machine that is located in China (very far from here) and the connection is very slow. The timeout of intellij remote debugger is short and therefore I'm getting Unable to open debugger port : java.net.ConnectException "Connection timed out: "

And I can't debug. Is it possible to increase the connection timeout? and how?

Does telnet connect? You need to verify that connection is not blocked as it may have nothing to do with timeout. - CrazyCoder
@CrazyCoder - yes I verified it - axelrod
What OS do you use? Does it help if you disable firewall? - CrazyCoder

Try add -Djava.net.connectiontimeout=<seconds> to <IDEA_install_path>/bin/idea.vmoptions and restart IDEA. But firstly ensure that port is opened and host is accessible, for example you can try to connect with telnet/another program.
