Debug external launched jar file

Question

I would like to debug an external launched jar application inside my Eclipse.

The way I'm launching the jar file is:

java -jar "D:\tools\swagger-codegen-cli.jar" generate -i http://guest1:8080/dbox/cmng/swagger.json -l typescript-angular2 -v

This jar file is generated using mvn package and copied in D:\tools\.

I've cloned git repository and I've imported the maven project inside Eclipse.

Is there any ideas?

Run your jar with

java 
  -Xdebug 
  -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8888
  -jar myjar.jar

In Eclipse you have to make a debug configuration. For a remote java appilcation. With 8888 as the port.

you are right, except the hint to the eclipse launch configuration – tomas Aug 24 '17 at 08:26
