I have downloaded and installed "Eclipse Java EE for Web Developers" with WTP 1.1.3. I have set up my MySQL 5.x with the Data tools and I have sucessfully made a db connection in a simple jsp file so I know my database is valid and working. I can also reach the MySQL database from the Datasource explorer.

However, even after setting up Tomcat under "Debug Configurations" with the information found under "How can I debug with the Java source that Tomcat creates for a JSP?" in the WTP Tomcat FAQ: http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_Tomcat_FAQ and setting breakpoints only with within the JSP tags: <% and %>, the execution still doesn't stop at my set breakpoints nor can I see any variable values or ArrayLists values. This is making it hard for me to see where in the process my problem lies. Currently this is an IndexOutOfBoundsException.

I have tried to halt the VM and not and also tried to set the environment variables JPDA_ADDRESS=8000 and JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket and then start up tomcat using "catalina jpda start" as said in the Tomcat Wiki. about "remote debugging" which I suppose is my case even if I'm on the same machine. With this I got errors during startup but Tomcat executed my pages (with the same errors obviously)

How do I set up Tomcat 5.5.x so that my breakpoints are active and so that I can see my variables?

I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.8 with JVM1.5.0.
