I am running MyEclipse on OS X, trying to attach to a Tomcat 5.5 server running on Windows XP (via Parallels VM on the same machine). Problem is, I cannot get MyEclipse to see/connect to the debug port 8000.
I have Tomcat configured with the following JVM options to enable debugging:
-Xdebug
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=nLaunching from within Win, the console shows all this is starting properly. I can use a browser on the Mac to see it is running (Windows has its own IP separate from Mac).
But when I try to connect remotely via MyEclipse I get “Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection timed out.” (org.eclipse.jdi.TimeoutException). Firewall on Win is open for 8000.
To connect I’m using Debug… “MyEclipse Externally Launched Server”, and have it configured for the Win IP, port 8000, attach via standard (sockets).
And no, it is not possible for me to run Tomcat on Mac… the app requires DLLs and other Win-centric fooforah.
Help!
Try and disable the firewall completely and then see if it works… also it’s very possible to run Tomcat on OS X, I’m not sure what problems you ran into but I used it on my MacBook Pro for all my development and testing.
I tried turning off the firewall before… no dice.
The reason I cannot run Tomcat on OS X isn’t a technical issue, it’s a project one. The app uses DLLs and other code which force it to run on Windows.
Hmm, and you are using the directions from the remote debugging guide in our documentation section to try and attach the debugger and it’s just not working? I’ll admit I’m not sure what would stop it from connecting… but if it’s a standard connection it should work.
Got it working. Don’t know what the issue was… perhaps something with Tomcat (running on the Windows side)… perhaps a problem between the chair and the keyboard.
I reinstalled TC, followed the instructions from the Apache Tomcat website and now MyEclipse on Mac can see & debug Tomcat running in the virtual Windows.
Thanks for the help.
