[opencms-dev] debugging with eclipse

[Jonathan Woods]

We use Eclipse to debug an instance of OpenCms running in a separate
installation of Tomcat, because that means we're not dependent on the plugin
version.  The 'separate installation' can also be remote, because we attach
to it using Java remote debugging.  As Jozef says, you don't need the source
files in your main project filesystem, just as attached source.  Eclipse
helpfully prompts you to locate this the first time you try to debug into a
class whose source it doesn't yet know about.

   Yes, it is common practice in our company. Eclipse + Sysdeo Tomcat
plugin, install OpenCms into used tomcat, map your source code, remove
corresponding JARs from WEB-INF/lib, and you can debug.

   In case you only need to develop your own code (e.g. new module), you do
not need to map source code directly into project and remove JARs, only set
"Java Source Attachment" in selected JAR's properties.
