Can you also append the corresponding stack trace from your workspace's .metdata/.log file or the Error Log view?

Hi Nitin. Further Googling reveals this may be a problem that's already known about and for which a fix has been made and an update imminent.
Please see Bug 326227

Please excuse verbose error report - still discovering how to report Eclipse bugs! 
Best regards. Iain Houston.

Do you require more / better diagnostic info?
A solution to this problem is very important to my current project.
Best regards.

Hi Iain, thanks for report.
Based on the information from the log it's a known issue, that was fixed recently.

Upgrade was achieved by adding: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/2.2/milestones to Preferences >> Install/Update >> Available Software Sites.
Then "work with" this site in Help >> Install New Software
Select "Name" PDT 2.2.1 .....
Click Next and complete the download and update (restart required).
This seems to have fixed the problem and now remote debugging seems to be working.
(Thanks to Roy Ganor.)
