One reply on “How to set debugging in Eclipse with Java Remote Application”

1./ Configure JAVA_OPT in my java application

DEBUG=”-Xms32m -Xmx256m -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8111,suspend=n”

java ${DEBUG} -jar ../../lib/your.jar

Explain:

  • Memory option: -Xms32m -Xmx256m
  • Debug port: 8111
  • suspend can be “n” (No waiting for debug, proceed only if debug is set) or “y” (Yes, waiting for debug on the selected port)

2./ Configure Eclipse debugger – Remote Java Application

  • Click on: Run > Debug Configuration
  • At Remote Java Application, create “New launch configuration”, give a name
  • Then configure the connection and give the right port number (e.g. 8111, above)
