Debugging a task [Solved] [message #1740891]

Hi,

I wrote a custom task that doesn't work. When the customTaskImpl.perform() method tries to call the actual implementation nothing happens, no exception, no log, nothing.

How do I run the installer in debug mode? I found this thread: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1075021/ where it says "You could provision an Oomph workspace, import your task projects, and use the debugger with the "Setup (Installer
Dialog)" launch" but I have no idea how to do that. I don't have a "Setup (Installer Dialog)" launch option in the launch configuration. I'm not sure what is meant by "provision an Oomph workspace".

Thanks!

Update: I just started the Eclipse Installer with remote debug support and set a breakpoint in my task source code. Works fine (the debugging, not my task Sad

What is the "actual implementation"?

That means that you can use Oomph's Eclipse Installer to install an IDE with exactly the same workspace that the Oomph
developers use to develop Oomph. You'll find "Oomph" under the "Eclipse Projects" catalog on the second page of the
advanced mode of the installer. Once you've successfully created this IDE/workspace you'll find the launch config "Setup
(Installer Dialog)".
