Remote Debug E4 Application

I am working on a UI utility which is set to call a set of commands only existing on server side. So it’s impossible to debug application on local envirnoment. It has to be done on server side, following steps is an approach to accomlish this target.

Start E4 Applicaton in listening mode

 # on server side start application with following arguments
 $ e4application -vmargs -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000
 

Remote Debuging Settings

In Eclipse -> Debug Configurations… -> Add new Remote Java Application->
Select product project -> specify server ip address and port -> Debug

Check out the Eclipse RCP remote debugging for more info on how to do this.
