One Answer:

This is a known Oracle JRE bug with Java 8 update 40 on a Mac with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

Either downgrade the JRE (not recommended) or use this workaround:

A workaround (if you can control the client Java settings) is to add "-Xdebug" in Java Control Panel -> Java -> View... -> Runtime Parameters.
