Click the Configurations tab to see the list of available configurations and select the configuration you need.
Click Java > JVM Settings tab.
Under Debug Java Settings, select the Enable Debug checkbox.
Provide JVM options as necessary by clicking the New button.
The default JPDA options are as follows:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=7896 |
If you substitute suspend=y, the JVM starts in suspended mode and stays suspended until a debugger attaches to it. This is helpful if you want to start debugging as soon as the JVM starts. To specify the port to use when attaching the JVM to a debugger, specify address=port_number. Check out the JPDA documentation for a list of debugging options.
