Debugger Suggestions...

[Mark DeLaFranier <de...@HotPOP.com>]

Hello Geronimo Dev Community,

 

Please forgive me if this already has been addressed already.  I've done a search on the dev archives with no results.

 

I am just in the process of familiarizing myself with the Geronimo codeline and I was going to run Geronimo in a java debugger, Karmira's Bugseeker, however, it doesn't like the new 'assert' statement in the JDK.  

 

Does anybody have any recommendations, and hopefully setup tips :-), for a java debugger that works with minimal setup and config for Geronimo?

 

Thanks

Mark

I use Idea (http://www.intellij.com) which has support for remote 
debugging so you can attach to a running server and step through the 
code; setting this up is fairly easy - you set up a remote debug 
session, cut&paste some additional parameters onto the command line, and 
have at it. There is a target m:idea in the geronimo build that will set 
up the Idea project as well.

Most other modern IDEs, like Eclipse, can do this as well and I believe 
there is a m:eclipse target as well.
