I'm looking for days now how to attach my debugger in netbeans. So we have a Start.java class where the jetty is embedded. Similar to this http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Tutorial/Embedding_Jetty So I start my web application by running this Start.java file. Everything works fine till the point where I want to debug. I've seen multiple how to's for eclipse and the very few I found for netbeans didnt help.

Does anyone have a clue? In the project properties, under actions, I added Env.MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xverify:none -Xnoclassgc -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n

under Run file via main() and Debug file via main()

when I attach the java debugger (jpda) it seems as if its running but its ignoring the breakpoints

Has anyone any idea?

Thanks in advance

In my project properties -> actions: Debug file via main() I had added as mentioned above 

Env.MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xverify:none -Xnoclassgc

whitch attached the debugger but not with my project. I added -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=n,address=${jpda.address}

to my exc.args and now its working perfectly!

exec.args=-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n -classpath %classpath ${packageClassName}

This is the complete config of my Debug file via main() and Run file via main()

exec.args=-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n -classpath %classpath ${packageClassName}
exec.executable=java
exec.classpathScope=${classPathScope}
jpda.listen=true
Env.MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xverify:none -Xnoclassgc
