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 |
|---|
gradlew ofbiz
|
To start in debug mode use the command line
R17.12 and R18.12
| Code Block |
|---|
gradlew ofbizDebug
|
Trunk and after R18.12
| Code Block |
|---|
gradlew ofbiz --debug-jvm
|
This run in debug mode listening for a socket connection on port 5005 for a debugger to connect. So 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
Before connecting you have to create a new debug configuration.
- In Eclipse choose Run->Debug... from the menu. A Debug window should pop up.
- Select
Remote Java Applicationfrom 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
ofbizfor the project - Select
Standard (Socket Attach)for Connection Type - Type
localhostfor host - Type
5005
- Pick
- On the Source tab
- Click
Add Projects...(buttons on the right) - Select the ofbiz project
- Click
- Click
ApplyIf 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

Note that when doing development work, you will have to stop OFBiz. Because this method treats OFBiz as a plain Java. You don't have any automatic classloading as you might be used to when using Eclipse-WTP and developing webapps.
