Remote debugging in java error

Question

I want to do remote code debugging. So I ran below command in my remote machine:

java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8998,server=y -jar myapp.jar.

Then I created debug config in eclipse. But I am getting a error in remote machine stating:

Could not find or load main method

I have set the buildpath of eclipse correctly. The jar has the manifest which states the correct main method in jar. Still I am facing this issue. So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

First, does the program by itself run correctly? I mean, in the remote machine: java -jar myapp.jar

Second, the parameters you have used are typical for JRE1.4. For a more advance Java version, take a look here:

The program does run correctly on remote machine. I have tried command for newer jdk but had no success – Ananth Mar 01 '17 at 19:08
Post the debug configuration from eclipse. Maybe the hostname, port or project are incorrect. – Ossin Java guy Mar 01 '17 at 19:45
