Chapter 3 Using the Eclipse Integrated Virtual Debugger : Attaching the Debugger to an Application Running in a Virtual Machine

Attaching the Debugger to an Application Running in a Virtual Machine
You can attach the debugger to any Java application that is running in a virtual machine.
To attach to an application that is running in a virtual machine
1
In the Debug page, select the configuration under VMware attach to application in the left pane and click Debug in the right pane.
2
If more than one instance of the Java application is running in the virtual machine, a dialog box appears with a list of the running instances, each identified by their process ID, port number, and arguments.
Select the process you want to attach to.
3
Perform debugging tasks as you would in a local debugging environment.
Note
Do not suspend a virtual machine while the integrated virtual debugger is connected to an application. If you do, the integrated virtual debugger will disconnect from the application.
