Chapter 3. Debugging applications in Eclipse

Create a debug-enabled run configuration
Create a remote debugger configuration
Run and debug the application

This chapter describes how to debug ActiveSpaces® Transactions applications in Eclipse. The configuration for other Java IDEs is similar.

The process consists of the following general steps:

  1. Configure Eclipse to run the application on a node in a debug-enabled mode.

  2. Configure the Eclipse debugger to attach remotely to the application node.

  3. Run the application in debug mode, then attach the remote debugger.
