I want to connect Idea rather than eclipse to the jdwp port on the jboss jvm, even when eclipse launches jboss. This is because I use idea to do all my java programming and debugging, and I use eclipse for xml and j2ee deployment. Sorry eclipse, but for this IDEA bigot, the eclipse java environment just doesn’t cut it yet (perhaps Intellij will do an IDEA plugin for eclipse some day – but thats another story)
How does ME configure the jboss jvm for debugging? The connector preferences are just run/debug. I did a content search on the eclipse tree for ‘dt_socket’, a debug parameter to the jvm, hoping to find a file with the debug properties, but nothing came up. Can I get at the configuration to customise the debug config? If not, what port and transport does ME specify for communication with the jvm debug server, so that I could at least get a connection for experimenting with idea as a debug client ?
Still not outsourced,
