Remotely debugging JVM using Java command line

Question

How do I use the JAVA_OPTS command to remotely debug a Java program?

Answer 1

In order to use JAVA_OPT you need to run it with below:

-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044

If you are using it through Eclipse for Java 5 or above, you need to execute it with:

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=1044
