This is a really good question. I'm not good with maven but I'll attempt to answer this. To debug in the master branch, you have to do the following.
Let's say you normally run with Mvn -pl client jetty:run Instead, you type the following mvndebug -pl client jetty:run This starts with the jvm in debug mode and the port at 8000. Then you can use eclipse to setup the attach to the jvm at port 8000. One thing about this is that the maven process won't run until the debugger is attached. I often find that annoying. Most of them time I just want to attach when I need to. Most of the time what I'm debugging is not during the startup of the process so I don't need it. For that, I do the following. Cd %M2_HOME%\bin Cp mvnDebug.bat mvnd.bat Notepad mvnd.bat Search for 'server=y' and change the 'y' to 'n'. Now you can do mvnd -pl client jetty:run --Alex From: Jessica Wang Sent: Monday, December 03, 2012 4:24 PM To: Alex Huang Subject: For apache branch, what is port number you specify for debugging in eClipse?
