Before any interaction with OFBiz in Eclipse be sure to run "gradlew eclipse". This generate the information Eclipse needs about the OFBiz project. |
Run OFBiz in debug mode and debug
...
in Eclipse
Step 1: Run OFBiz in debug mode
Normally we start OFBiz with the command line
Code Block |
---|
{{%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java \-jar ofbiz.jar}}gradlew ofbiz |
To start in debug mode use the command line
R17.12 and R18.12
Code Block |
---|
gradlew ofbizDebug {{%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java \-Xdebug \-Xnoagent \-Djava.compiler=NONE \-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8091 \-jar ofbiz.jar}}\\ |
Trunk and after R18.12
Code Block |
---|
gradlew ofbiz --debug-jvm
|
This This changed command line instructs java to run in debug mode listening for a socket connection on port 8091 5005 for a debugger to connect. You can change the port number to any port not otherwise being usedSo unlike with Ant you have to connect a Debugger at this port for OFBiz to continue.
Step 2: Connect to OFBiz with Eclipse as a Debugger
...
- In Eclipse choose Run->Debug... from the menu. A Debug window should pop up.
- Select
Remote Java Application
from the tree on the left. - Click
New
(button on the bottom left). - Type a name at the top (OFBiz, perhaps?)
- On the Connect tab
- Pick
ofbiz
for the project - Select
Standard (Socket Attach)
for Connection Type - Type
localhost
for host - Type
8091
(or whatever port you chose) for port5005
- Pick
- On the Source tab
- Click
Add Projects...
(buttons on the right) - Select the ofbiz project
- Click
- Click
Apply
If you have OFBiz running debug (Step 1 above) you can start debugging by clickingDebug
(on the bottom) now.
You know that you are connected when you see a start/stop button in the debug perspective of Eclipse.

Debugging (or running) OFBiz
...
inside Eclipse
- Select OFBiz project, right-click on it -> Run As -> Run ... (alike for Debug)
- Select Java Application and click on New
- Set Run configuration name to OFBiz
- Main tab:
- Project: OFBiz
- Main class: org.ofbiz.base.start.Start
- If you need it (to trace a framework bug in the 1st loaded class) you may use the "Stop in Main" Option
- Arguments:
- VM arguments: -Xms(minValue)M -Xmx(maxValue)M (typically minValue = 128, maxValue = 5121024, more is better of course) -Duser.language=en
- In some case (Suse SL 10.1 at least) it's better to not define any VM arguments but let the defaults values.
- Working directory: Use default working directory
- VM arguments: -Xms(minValue)M -Xmx(maxValue)M (typically minValue = 128, maxValue = 5121024, more is better of course) -Duser.language=en
- Classpath
- Bootstrap Entries: JRE System Library
- User Entries: build/libs/ofbiz.jar from OFBiz project
- Don't forget to remove the entry "ofbiz (default classpath)" else you may have a message "Can't find bundle for base name cache, locale ..."
- Source tab
- Click
Add Projects...
(buttons on the right) - Select the ofbiz project
- Click
- Environment
- Add environment variable LC_ALL=C (Optional, Linux only)
- Main tab:
- Click on Apply and Run (or Debug)

Note that when doing development work, you will have to stop OFBiz, run an Ant build and re-start. Because this method treats OFBiz as a plain Java up, you . You don't have any automatic classloading as you might be used to when using Eclipse-WTP and developing webapps. Anchor
Browsing Derby Database in Eclipse
Connecting the database
The Eclipse DTP (Data Tools Project) is quite helpful to inspect database content from within the IDE. As long as you are using the embedded Derby database in OFBiz, you can create a DTP connection as described here. Everything you need comes with OFBiz. Just make sure you have the Data Tools Platform features installed in your Eclipse IDE.
- In the Data Source Explorer View, right-click on Databases and choose New ... .
- Select Derby Embedded Database and click on Next.
- Enter a name and description. (Note: Both are for your reference only!) Click Finish.
- Most likely, you will not yet have a Driver Definition for the Derby database available, so the Select a driver dropdown will be empty. Click on the ... button next to it to start creating a driver definition.
- Choose 10.2 under Derby and click the Add... button.
- Make sure you choose the Derby Embedded JDBC driver and click OK.
- The template expects the driver to be in a file called derby.jar. Select that line in the Driver File(s) listbox and click on Edit Jar/Zip to specify the actual location of the JAR file. You will find this in your workspace as framework/entity/lib/jdbc/derby-10.2.2.0.jar. When done, click OK.
- You should be back in the Driver and Connection Details. Fill in the parameters as you can see them here. Note: For Database location, adapt to your workspace location. There is no way to use a variable in this path, unfortunately. Username and password are ofbiz/ofbiz by default. For convenience, in a development environment, it should be acceptable to save the password with the connection. Make sure that Create database (if required) is unchecked, as this does not make sense in this context.
Important: This is not the place to decide that you'd like your Derby DB in a different location for OFBiz as OFBiz itself does not use these settings. If you would like to have your database outside of the workspace, take a look at the entityengine.xml config file and read the Entity Engine Configuration Guide to learn how to switch databases.
Click on Test Connection to make sure your settings allow you to successfully connect to the database.
- You should now be able to browse the database content of OFBiz inside Eclipse.
