[opencms-dev] Remote debugging OpenCms with Eclipse

[Gianluca Cassina]

Hi all,

I use Eclipse with wst, and I solved source duplication problems with a jsp
source folder that's linked to the jsp directory:
/opencms/WebContent/WEB-INF/jsp is a linked folder to
C:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\webapps\ope
ncms\WEB-INF\jsp
Where the Tomcat dir is the one inside my workspace (in my server
configuration I set "Run modules directly from the workspace)

You need to access jsp, before being able to read them, because they are
generated "on the fly", but then you can set breakpoint and step through,

I can reproduce it now: I have to put the JSPs under 
<eclipse-workspace>/<project>/WebContent/WEB-INF/jsp/offline/sites/defaults/
<jsp-name>

Still not happy with this, as I definitely don't want to maintain the JSPs 
on two different locations.

Let me know if you find out anything new.
