When I try to debug an Android app with NetBeans and the nbandroid plugin, it starts the emulator, and eventually when the emulator comes up it says
Waiting For Debugger
Application [app name] ([package name]) is waiting for the debugger to attach.
and I get a Force Close button.
Here is the log from DDMS.

About to start [packagename]/[packagename].[activityclassname]
Starting: Intent { cmp=[packagenamel]/.[activityclassname] }
NetBeans tells me the process is still running and gives me a stop button to ‘kill’ if I want.
Also my CPU and disk are mostly idle.
I ran into this problem as well. You have to manually attach the debugger while the emulator says “Waiting for debugger to attach”. In Netbean’s menu bar, click “Debug”, then “Attach Debugger…”. You have to select your package from the “Process” drop down list, and then click “Attach”. That should do it.
This works in Netbeans 7 anyway.
