[SOLVED] How to run Dropwizard app in debug mode with Eclipse?

How to run Dropwizard app in debug mode with Eclipse?

I'm looking to run my Dropwizard 0.8.5 app in debug mode whereby:

The app is running locally, using JPDA; and
In my IDE (Eclipse) I set breakpoints and use a JPDA client to connect to my locally running app (I think this is how it goes)

For the server debug mode:

Typically my DW app runs from the command-line like so:

java -jar build/libs/myapp.jar server src/test/resources/myapp-local.yml

So what are the command-line args to get this running in debug mode (JPDA), or what are the modifications to myapp-local.yml needed to accomplish this?

For Eclipse/JPDA Client

I assume I just set breakpoints and then create a new Debug Configuration inside Eclipse, but not sure what arguments/configs to set this Configuration up with. Any ideas?

Solution

Just run the main class (the one that extends Application<T>) in debug mode. You will need to set the program parameters as "server src/test/resources/myapp-local.yml" in your run configurations.
