Xtext web editor -- debug mode [message #1724400]

I'm new to gradle builds...

I used the gradle option to set up the Xtext web editor for my DSL and have
it working now. I have started to add some customizations and to debug and
step through my customization code (e.g. custom content assist proposals).
How do I launch the web editor in debug mode so that I can hit breakpoints
set in my custom code in Eclipse?

I currently run the gradle task jettyRun from Eclipse (Gradle Tasks view) to
launch the editor.

Thanks for your help!

Try setting debug = true in the jettyRun task in the build.gradle file and connect a remote debug session from Eclipse to port 5005.
