Hi,
I am trying to debug server side java code that is running in a tomcat 7 container. I am using the Luna release that I downloaded as 'eclipse-jee-luna-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz'. I am running java 1.8. This is my first attempt at trying remote debugging and I have done the following prep:
1) In my tomcat7 bin, I have added the file setenv.sh with the following line of code:
export JAVA_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n"
2) In Eclipse, I have gone to run-->Debug Configurations and created a configurations with the following field entries:
name: serverSide
project: ps
connection type: standard (socket attach)
host: local
port: 8787
3) I started tomcat7 with .../tomcat7/bin/startup.sh
4) I clicked on 'debug' in the debug configuration window.
5) in the debug perspective, in the upper left panel under the debug tab, I see:
Quote:Java Hotspot(TM) 64-bit server VM[localhost:8787]
and a number of threads running
6) in the debug perspective, in the upper left panel under the server tab, I see:
Quote:No servers are available. Click this link to create a new server
7) When I click on the link, a 'New Server' window pops up. I entered 'tomcat' as the server type and click on 'Tomcat v7.0 Server'. For the host field, 'localhost' is already entered. There is a field 'Server name:' in which I cannot make an entry, and it is blank. At the bottom of the window, the buttons 'back', 'next' and 'finish' are all disabled and the only button I can select is 'cancel'. Thus, I cannot create a new server.
My interpretation is that this window is intended to define in Eclipse the external server that Eclipse is going connect to, but this server is not known by Eclipse, so I cannot connect to it. But I don't understand why I cannot create a name for the server and complete the 'new server' dialog.
Can anyone explain?
Jim A.

The Server tab isn't to define external servers, it is to define a
server that Eclipse controls and can be use to run projects from within
your workspace.
Remote debugging is as you described in the first 5 items. You have
connected to your server when you see the entries in the debug tab.
However, I don't think you will be able to do much of anything without
having projects defined in your Eclipse workspace with the source either
included or attached to jar files.
