Debug Play 2 framework project in Eclipse?

Question

I need help how to set up debugging for a Play 2.0.4 project in Eclipse. What do I have to configure for that? I already eclipsified my project and imported it into the Eclipse workspace. Thanks for any hint.

Answer 1

First create a eclipse project with play eclipse or play eclipse with-source=true . Open that project in Eclipse

Start play with play debug . And the start the app with the run command. (or directly play debug run

Then connect eclipse via Remote-Debugging: Use the Connect JPDA with Debug As to start a debugging session. The debug port is 9999.
