Mirror API in Eclipse

Question

I downloaded the glass-java-starter from github and followed all of the instructions on the glass developers site. I got it imported into Eclipse as a Maven existing project as instructed and I changed the oAuth file ID and Secret as specified. When I try to start the project or debug the project I am getting the following exception: Source not found for http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/NoGoalSpecifiedException. The instructions give a command line command for running the project, $ mvn jetty, but nothing for Eclipse. How do I debug this project with Eclipse?

Answer 1

You will need to use one of the maven plugins available for Eclipse to initiate the run:jetty goal.

There are a few available. One of them is Eclipse m2e.

1. Install the plugin
2. Create a new run configuration of type Maven Build
3. Specify a goal of jetty:run

Answer 2

Other solution would be:

set jetty debug port:

export MAVEN_OPTS='-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=4000,server=y,suspend=y'

then run jetty through maven command line

mvn jetty:jetty

After that use Eclipse remote debugger on port 4000.

Answer 3

The war file, product that mvn produce in this sample app is compatible with tomcat or any other standalone server, so just build a war to "webapp" directory of standalone tomcat or jetty or "deploy" directory of standalone JBoss. Eclipse has plenty of plugins to run those in debug mode.
