Remote Debugging in Eclipse

I recently had a look around the online help for Eclipse, with a view to debugging code running in another VM, but couldn't find anything. Can Eclipse do this, and if so, what would I need, in addition to the basic download, to achieve it? (Perhaps I have an old version - I have been too busy to update it recently).

At the risk of flagrant self-promotion, this is covered in our book, Chapter 4, Remote Debugging and a similarly named section in Exercise 3. I'll sheepishly admit that I gave a similar answer for Debugging Container code in Eclipse awhile back, where I pointed to Eclipse's online documentation.
