I wonder if it would help if the initialization
{code}
private static final int SHORCUT_KEY_MASK = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getMenuShortcutKeyMask();
{code}
is moved to the PDFDebugger constructor. See also

> The command line tools shall be enhanced to have the same behavior across all tools.
> From the discussion on the dev mailing list
> - add an -h option to print the usage
> - print the usage to System.err and use an exit code of 1 if there was an invalid command line parameter
> - print messages on exceptions to System.err
> - rethrow the exception so java can handle it if it will terminate afterwards anyway
> - use an exit code of 1if rethrowing doesn't make sense
> Additional input:
