I have a JAR file that is executed with "javaw ..." and it works fine. Is there a way with JDeveloper, or any other tool, to debug that executing file? The answers found on this board focus on Eclipse whcih I do not have.

    Run the application with [remote debugging enabled](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/975271/remote-debugging-a-java-application). Connect JDeveloper to the port you specified. Profit. P.S. you can set `syspend=y` if you want the application to wait until you have connected. – Boris the Spider Jun 02 '14 at 15:02
  • Is there a way to run the JAR file that was built a long time ago in debug mode? I have the source code and can pull that into JDev, but I can't change how it was built. – Dean.DePue Jun 02 '14 at 15:07

    Read the link I gave you, it really isn't that long. Please. – Boris the Spider Jun 02 '14 at 15:08
  • @BoristheSpider thank you. I read through that but it doesn't apply. My application is running locally on my PC from a JAR file that contains CLASS files. – Dean.DePue Jun 02 '14 at 15:15

    Ah ha, and what about `javaw -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=6006 -jar myapp.jar`? – Boris the Spider Jun 02 '14 at 15:17
  • @BoristheSpider I run that in command and get nothing, the window disappears and the app doesn't start. Is it waiting for something? I don't see anything in task mgr either. – Dean.DePue Jun 02 '14 at 16:52
