As Ralph says, for the client, you can use the Chrome debugger, but if you
didn't want to, the Eclipse SDBG plugin should still work. Or if you use
IntelliJ, the paid Ultimate version comes with a JS debuger (I've not seen
a JS debugger for the free Community version).
For the server, you might find it easier to put the flags Ralph talks about
into your pom file. Eg: If you use springboot, you can do this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
<jvmArguments>
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:8000 <!--
Allow debugging -->
--add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED <!-- Allow exceptions to
have java.lang details serialised -->
</jvmArguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
