Hello. I've been trying to use Eclipse's remote debugging capabilities,
but I just can't get it to work. This probably means that I have a lot of
misconceptions about how it works, so I hope someone here can clear them
up for me.
Here is what I am trying to set up. I have a junit test that fails only
when it is executed by my ANT target (it works if I run it from eclipse
directly). So, I though that I will use Eclipse to remote debug the test
when it is executed by ANT. In order to do this, I performed the following
steps, which I thought would get me there:
1) Run ANT with debugging parameters, like this:
"/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java" -Xdebug
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=104 4 -classpath
" /usr/share/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar:/usr/share/java/xmlParse rAPIs.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar "
-Dant.home="/usr/share/ant" -Dant.library.dir="/usr/share/ant/lib"
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -cp "" "integration-tests-agriInvest"
2) I made a "Remote Java Application" launcher in Eclipse and set it up to
connect to localhost:1044
3) On the 'Source' tab I made sure to add the project where the source
code for my junit is.
The result of this setup is that when I run Step 1, ANT correctly
tells me: "Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 1044" and waits
until I go to Eclipse and launch my remote configuration. As the test
runs, I can see the remote threads in Eclipse, so everything looks good.
However, I can't get Eclipse to stop on my breakpoint! What am I missing?
Please help. Thanks.

Sounds like you did pretty much everything correctly. The only thing I
can think of to ask is, did you select the appropriate Project when
creating the debug launch config, not on the Source tab but on the
Connect tab? If you do that, you should not usually have to set any
additional stuff on the Source tab.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Generally, yes. I'm trying to think of what kind of setup would cause it
to not hit breakpoints, and I'm coming up mostly blank.
Does the JUnit project depend on the other projects directly, or on JARs
that are produced from those projects?
Maybe if you describe your project setup in more detail, we might spot
something that is out of the ordinary...

In what project(s) have you set the breakpoint(s) that are not hit when
you debug the JUnit test?
One other idea I had: try deleting the launch configuration for your
test, then right-click on the test class (or package or project that
contains it) and choose Debug As > JUnit Test. That will force it to
re-generate a new launch configuration that should (hopefully) be correct.
