Hi Jon

I use Netbeans 5.5 with Tomcat 5.5 and JSP debugging is working. For me the
key was to store the JSP's in the appropriate path. Remember that OpenCMS
automatically exports all JSP's from the VFS to real filesystem in folder
WEB-INF/jsp/offline of your webapp (for the offline project).

So if your JSP reside in VFS under path

/system/modules/com.package.xyz/elements/template.jsp

then you should store it in your IDE project here:

/project/webfolder/WEB-INF/jsp/offline/system/modules/com.package.xyz/elemen
ts/template.jsp

Configure your IDE that it uses /project/webfolder to store JSP's.

Please let me now if this works with Eclipse. By the way this won't work
with IDEA IntelliJ.

Best regards
Chris
