Surefire plugin cannot be debugged remotely by eclipse ------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-784 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-784 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Story Components: process forking Affects Versions: 2.10 Environment: Eclipse indigo 20110916-0149 jdk1.6.0_27 Apache Maven 3.0.3 r1075438 Reporter: lisak I'm talking about debugging the plugin/mojo, not tests. Running maven with {noformat}-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8000{noformat} allows eclipse debugger to connect to the process of all maven plugins I tried, except for surefire-plugin. The breakpoint in AbstractSurefireMojo just isn't triggered. I tried everything possible -DforkMode=once -DforkMode=never mvnDebug etc. Any idea how to deal with this ? I would need to add 200 jars on classpath to boot up Liferay portal : {noformat} <additionalClasspathElements> <additionalClasspathElement> /opt/liferay/portal/lib/development/* </additionalClasspathElement> <additionalClasspathElement> /opt/liferay/portal/lib/global/* </additionalClasspathElement> <additionalClasspathElement> /opt/liferay/portal/lib/portal/* </additionalClasspathElement> </additionalClasspathElements> {noformat} but it doesn't work. Neither *.jar wildcard ... Although {noformat}/opt/liferay/portal/lib/portal/c3p0.jar{noformat} works. It is hard to figure out what is going on without debugging it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
