Debug micronaut application in eclipse IDE - java

I have created a java micronaut application in Eclipse IDE. The microservice is able to build and run successfully via commandline but I'd like to know if there is a way to add breakpoints in the application for debugging just the way we debug any normal java application?
I did try the solution mentioned here Debug java micronaut microservice in visual studio code.
I added run.jvmArgs('-Dmicronaut.environments=dev','-noverify', '-XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1', '-Xdebug',"-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n", '-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote') configuration
to build.gradle.
When I build and run the project again, I see
> Task :run
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000
12:53:51.084 [main] INFO i.m.context.env.DefaultEnvironment - Established active environments: [dev]
12:53:53.809 [main] INFO io.micronaut.runtime.Micronaut - Startup completed in 3102ms. Server Running: http://localhost:6030
So how do I add breakpoints and debug the microservice now?

In this setup, the JVM is listening on a socket for a debugger to attach. In Eclipse, you can create a remote debug configuration for this:
Run -> Debug Configurations
Make new Launch configuration under Remote Java Application
Ensure the right project is selected. Under Connection Properties, let it connect to localhost on port 8000 (which happens to be the default)
Click Debug

mvnDebug mode is not opening the debug mode

I have a maven project which I m trying to execute using mvnDebug clean install command but it is getting stuck at below point and nothing happens after this:
mvnDebug clean install
Preparing to execute Maven in debug mode
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000 (Stucked here and nothing happens after this)
Debug configuration in Eclipse is shown in image:
Also if I am trying to debug from java class itself by right clicking and selecting Debug as > Debug configurations (same configuration as shown in image) > debug then it is working fine just for the first time and opening the debug perspective. But If i perform the same actions I get "Launching remote encountered a problem, failed to connect to remote VM.Connection refused".

Spring Boot with debug args not close debug port after application stopped

I'm running my Spring Boot application with debug mode enabled. Like:
mvn -P dev spring-boot:run -Drun.jvmArguments="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005"
I can debug the application after that without any problem. But, after stopped (ctrl + c) and try to start again, I receive this error:
[INFO] Attaching agents: []
ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [debugInit.c:750]
So, every time that I need to start the application in debug mode after that, I need to kill the process using the port 5005.
I would like to know why the port 5005 is still opened after stop the application.
I'm using Cygwin64 on Windows 10, Maven 3.5.2, Java 8 and Spring Boot 1.5.9.RELEASE.
Thanks!
This is not a problem of Spring Boot, but a problem of non-cygwin applications running in cygwin. And your application is not only leaving port 5005 open, it just keeps running in the background, having port 8080 also opened, but as on a restart the debug port is first opened, this is what you see in the error message.
This was discussed in a SpringBoot issue back in 2014 https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/773. I cite from this issue (the link in the citation dates from 2006):
Anyone still following this bug, this isn't a Spring Boot bug at all. It's a known problem with non-Cygwin programs (Java in this case) running on pty-based terminals.
See this link for a full explanation why this can't be fixed: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-12/msg00151.html
So you can basically use one of the following approaches:
use the native windows terminal and setup your java and maven environment for that
run your maven command from within an IDE which can handle this - you might use this for debugging as well
add the Spring Actuator to your app and use the /shutdown endpoint to stop your application

How to debug web project in MyEclipse using JBoss server?

I am new to jboss and myeclipse.
I want to debug my web app using jboss 4.0.4
I am using MyEclipse.
I gone through various links and found we need to uncomment following line in run.bat file
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=y %JAVA_OPTS%
then after starting run.bat console shows
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8787
Then next how do I tell MyEclipse to attach to port 8787 and run my application in debug mode.
You need to define a Remote Java Application in the Eclipse debug configurations:
Open the debug configurations (select project, then open from menu run/debug configurations)
Select Remote Java Application in the left tree and press "New" button
On the right panel select your web app project and enter 8787 in the port field.
Here is a link to a detailed description of this process.
When you start the remote debug configuration Eclipse will attach to the JBoss process. If successful the debug view will show the JBoss threads. There is also a disconnect icon in the toolbar/menu to stop remote debugging.
Define a new server/runtime in MyEclipse, for your JBoss 4 installation. Deploy your project to the defined server and start it in debugging mode.
For more information, go to the MyEclipse learning center, also here.
For earlier releases, check in the inbuilt help.

Unable to start WebLogic remotely to Debug

I setup my remote WebLogic server to debug, using these options:
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=${DEBUG_PORT},server=y,suspend=n -Djava.compiler=NONE"
I started WebLogic on the server and saw that it was listening on 8453 for dt_socket. I added the remote server on my local Eclipse and tested the connection. I also see that the server is STARTED and I can view the details. However, I'm unable to restart in DEBUG. I also stopped WebLogic on the server and now in Eclipse I see that it is stopped, but I'm not able to start it (the icons for debug and start are greyed out). When I set up my Remote Java Application in Eclipse I did check "Allow termination of remote VM".
Before stopping the server, the debug icon wasn't disabled and when I clicked it I got this message:
Cannot attach to remote server.
Please make sure the server myserver.com is running and listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8453
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
Connection refused: connect
Instead of using java startup options, modify the following scripts:
setDomainEnv.sh -> make sure DEBUG_PORT is set ie. 8453
startWebLogic.sh -> set PRODUCTION_MODE=false and set debugFlag=true
Restart server, remote debug should work on port 8453.

Remote debugging on Tomcat with Eclipse

I'm trying to initiate a remote debugging session on my PC with Eclipse & Tomcat.
I managed to run tomcat (not through eclipse) with the following params:
set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket
set JPDA_ADDRESS=5050
cataline jpda start
The server starts ok, this is the outcome:
Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\Java\Tomcat"
Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\Java\Tomcat"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\Java\Tomcat\temp"
Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_27"
Using CLASSPATH: ...
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5050
...
...
INFO: Server startup in 12502 ms
Now, I opened eclipse, and loaded the relevant project.
I set a new debugging configuration using Remote Java Application with localhost and the right port. however when I run it, I get this error message:
Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
Connection refused: connect
Can't really understand where is the problem. this is all local inside the PC, so there shouldn't be any firewalls involved, can someone think of something ?
Found the solution. apparently the connection was made, but Eclipse & Tomcat don'tt show any notification or status regarding it.
Then, when you initiate the connection again, you get the error because you're already connected.
I think that a small notice, either from Eclipse, or from Tomcat would be nice.
Try adding the following debug options directly to the JVM startup by directly modifying the catalina startup script
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5050
There could be problems when there are code mismatches between eclipse and tomcat. So when it matches the error will disappear
You can configure it in remote java application section in debug configuration.
