I've got multiple project which are using tomcat on different ports.
I usually run tomcatRun task simply using gradle tR.
But I need to debug one application - it runs on localhost:9080 port so I created debug configuration in eclipse to use localhost and 9000 port.
But how to run tomcatRun task with debug properties? As a solution I found to use some variable
GRADLE_OPTS="-Xmx2048m -Xms2048m -XX:PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=9000,server=y,suspend=n"
However I don't get how to set it for my current application - because I've got multiple application which are using tomcat and I want to run only one application in debug mode?
You can use setenv.bat/setenv.sh in tomcat/bin directory and write
set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m ...

While reading online AEM documents, I came across how to run the AEM on debug mode. But How to debug on remote AEM server ?
To use remote debugging, you must start CQ5 with this JVM parameter:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n
You can add the parameter by doing the following;
Start your server like this: crx-quickstart/bin/start -d --debug-port 8000. The -d parameter adds the jvm parameter to the CQ5 java process.
Add it to your crx-quickstart/bin/start script CQ_JVM_OPTS environment variable (so your server always starts in debug mode).
Include it as a parameter when starting CQ5 with java -jar directly. For example, java -Xmx512m -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n -jar cq-author-4502.jar
Just as you would debug any Java application. Open the AEM in debug mode (i.e. add -debug <your port> to the startup parameters) and connect to it using your favorite IDE. I don't remember how you do it in Eclipse, but in IntelliJ you just create a new "Remote" run configuration specifying the debugging port.
i am using Intellij, there you can create remote connection for debugging as shown in below screen shot.
1. use the remote server
2. port on which you are running your AEM instance on Debug mode
Done!
how to setup a debugger for AEM or CQ? I'm using Eclipse IDE and Maven 3.2.5 for build and AEM version 6.0. I'm new to AEM and Java.
This Adobe article walks you through it: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/CQ5HowToSetupRemoteDebuggingWithEclipse.html
Step 1: Add the Remote Debugging JVM Parameter
To use remote debugging, you must start CQ5 with this JVM parameter:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n
You can add the parameter by doing the following;
Start your server like this: crx-quickstart/bin/start -d --debug-port 8000. The -d parameter adds the jvm parameter to the CQ5 java process.
Add it to your crx-quickstart/bin/start script CQ_JVM_OPTS environment variable (so your server always starts in debug mode).
Include it as a parameter when starting CQ5 with java -jar directly. For example, java -Xmx512m
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n -jar cq-author-4502.jar
Notes
If necessary, you can change the port defined under "...,address=8000,..." from 8000 to something that works better in
your environment.
Starting CQ 5.5, using the last solution, when Quickstart forks a new process it does not start the JVM with the debug options. You can
prevent forking by specifying the -nofork command line option.
Te start script is located under crx-quickstart/server for CQ versions < 5.5
Step 2: Start a remote debugging session
To start a remote debugging session from Eclipse, do the following:
Open Eclipse.
Choose Run > Debug Configurations.
Right-click Remote Java Applications and select New.
Select your CQ5 project under Project.
Type in the port from the "address" configuration of the jvm parameter defined above. In the example, it is port 8000 (and the host
name of the machine you are connecting to, most likely localhost)
To start a debugging session, double-click your new configuration in the Debug Configurations screen after saving it.
Applies to: CQ 5.x and Adobe Experience Manager 6.x
If you're on windows follow these steps.
Open AEM crx-quickstart, move onto bin, open start.bat(Right click and edit), find default JVM options, add the line
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=3000 next to headless=true in the start.bat file, save it. Open cmd in the bin folder. Type start.bat and hit enter which will open the instance with debugging port 3000.
Open Eclipse. Add breakpoints to the java file. Run > Debug Configurations > Remote Java Application, right click and select New Configuration, provide a name, select project(the one with .core), change port to 3000, apply and debug. Change the perspective to Debug, Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other > Debug.
Open AEM Page containing the component which uses the java class for which the breakpoints have added. If you’ve added breakpoints for the HelloWorldModel.java, open the page with helloworld component or refresh if already opened. And that’s it, eclipse will notify and the program will be paused at the breakpoint.
Possible Errors you might encounter with:
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused. Connection
refused: connect
The debugger has already started when you hit apply and debug and trying to run the debugger again will get you this error.
Debugger not pausing at breakpoints and no notification in eclipse.
If the instance was already running and you hit start.bat in cmd, you’ll find this unusuality. Close the instance, and enter start.bat(in the bin folder). You’ll find the message below when the instance is ready. It might or might won’t open the browser by its own. So just open the browser and enter http://localhost:[portnumber]/.

CQ5How To Setup Remote Debugging With Eclipse
My RCP app is not working properly outside of the development environment so I'm trying to setup a remote debugging session.
I start the app using the following parameters:
-vmargs -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n
I then created a new debug profile which connects to port 8000. In the debug perspective I can see that the connection was successful and the various threads are listed. I should say that the app has a number of bundles (model, UI, services etc.) so I chose the bundle containing the .product as the project to debug.
But, although there seems to be a connection, I cannot set breakpoints. At least, I can set a breakpoint but it never halts.
Is there something else I need to do?
-vmargs -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=y
Please use above VM arguments. suspend should be y.
I installed play 2.0 from the typesafe stack.
However, when i try to run sbt debug run it gives me the error:
[error] Not a valid key: debug (similar: idea)
Any suggestions on how to run a debug server?
In order to debug with the sbt command instead of the play command, you have the option to set the env. variable SBT_OPTS with the classical
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=9999
Source : https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=fr&fromgroups#!topic/play-framework/-RVlEh8S2F4
I spent quite some time on this tonight. Hope my experience helps.
And as many of you I am encountering same issue that debug is not recognized under sbt. The easiest way of course is to follow the documentation. install the Play standalone and run the play debug run command, and then debug remote java application using the 9999 port.
but #Julienlafont 's solution did workout as well (I had the confusion at first as well). The key is to understand the whole process. Play web server is still served through port 9000. but port 9999 is opened as debug port to let IDE connect to , this is important.
I guess the reason why debug is not recognized is because it is not a sub command at all. it is indeed a couple of JVM arguments as #Julienlafont point out. so the what play command did is simply wrap the JVM argument for you. note once you enter the play console, the debug extension wont be recognized, because its essence is a couple of JVM arguments.
so go ahead set that JVM argument, once you see the hint , you are done with opening the debug port. run your server and finish the remaining part.
Past scenario
- Work with Tomcat and start in debug mode and Remote Debug with Eclipse.
- Define a port and connect with eclipse in this debug/remote port.
- Use to debug servers in other hosts/servers
Today scenario
Now, I'm using Jetty and I've try to do the same, but with no success, could anyone help-me with that?
I did not use Maven, and did not want to start Jetty inside from my Eclipse.
Environment:
Windows XP
Java V. 5
Jetty V. 6.1.15
Links:
http:// docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Debugging
This did not help me!

These are to start inside Eclipse
This is what we are adding to our JBoss command line while development:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n
Then we launch the eclipse remote debugging and connection to this port.
Update:
To run from jar (standalone) do the following
java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8585,server=y,suspend=n -jar start.jar
For remote debugging you should use JPDA. There's a sort of tutorialish article about it available here.
In short, start your JVM with the argument:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8000,suspend=n
and you are able to connect to the underlying JVM listening on port 8000 via the standard Eclipse debugger.
If you will use mvn jetty:run one day, you have to
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=4000,server=y,suspend=n"
appending -Xdebug ... doesn't works
Using the JVM "agentlib" command-line parameter before "start.jar" did not work for me, but this does:
How to allow Eclipse to remotely debug #Jetty (#JPDA #agentlib:jdwp) on port 8000
You have to create a file, $JETTY_BASE/start.ini (do not change $JETTY_HOME/start.ini) and put the following two lines in it:
--exec
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=localhost:8000,server=y,suspend=n
