Everything Remote but IDE??? [message #857277]

I currently have Ubuntu server 11.10 up and running with a standard LAMP stack. My workstation is windows vista. The ubuntu server does not have a gui, command line only. That's fine and I have no desire to install X on the server.

The consequence of this is that I have my IDE on my workstation yet want to keep everything else on the server.

Any help configuring Eclipse to do everything on the Ubuntu side? In particular I want to make sure I can debug the code on the server-side from my Vista box.

I've done a tad of develop now with the IDE where I develop locally and then push the code over to the Ubuntu box and compile it there. This is no longer feasible as I need to move from some sample code to code I can actually debug in real time.

As much detail as possible would be appreciated since I am somewhat of a newbie!

Thanks in advance!

You could do remote debugging of a java application on your linux box. Look at http://blog.ankursharma.org/2010/05/remote-debugging-eclipse.html

Well, I've tried to start an -Xdebug session on the Ubuntu box. It works and creates a listening socket. I try to make the connection from my Windows Eclipse IDE to my Ubuntu box but it doesn't work and I get a connection VM error. I also think there is an issue where Eclipse is looking at the local jars instead of the remote ones.

I looking for the easiest solution to this, as per my orig post.

Eclipse can only look to the local jars for sources, but you should
definitely check the firewall settings on your Ubuntu machine.

Is that's the case might as well develop all locally and sftp it to the server...

Will check the fw.

Thanks!
