Java Remote Debug

Writing by shivdev on Thursday, 12 of August , 2010 at 4:45 pm

It’s easy to forget the options required to start a Java process with Remote Debug turned on at some port. So, to attach your Eclipse (or other IDE) debugger to a running Java process you need to start that process with the following Java options.

-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5096

Start your Java process with these parameters. Then you can use your IDE to connect to this process.

For Eclipse,

• In Eclipse, navigate to Run | Debug Configurations…
• Create a new Remote Java Application (in the left column)
• Fill in the required values and in the port enter 5096 and click Debug to attach to the process
