Re: Need help debugging Felix OSGi bundles (with Eclipse)
If you only need plain felix then eclipse + bndtools might help. I just tried the new 3.0.0 version and was able to setup as small project in quite short time. It features very nice debug integration. Apart from this remote debugging always works but is less convenient.

sorry. I thought the was the example being given for karaf-boot.

Re: Need help debugging Felix OSGi bundles (with Eclipse)
Debug with breakpoints works ok for me, I run karaf with the debug option and attach the same I would a tomcat app. I will say that somewhere I lost something because even though the ide stops at the correct line of the breakpoint and I can see the variables I am watching. The libraries included from the ide don't match with what is loaded because I do not get the green line and step into and over don't work. I also can debug with paxexam but I think OSGI is definitely much harder than many other technologies. I don't have a problem with this though. I chose java even though it is much harder to pickup than dynamic languages. I like type safe languages because even though there is more work involved in specifying the rules and it is slower to get started. Cleanly specifying the rules allows for better tool support and is priceless once a project gets large. I feel the same way about OSGI. It is more work upfront but once you really know what you are doing it saves a lot of work in the long run. It would be great if things were easier at no expense but that is not what drew me to karaf. Also you will be competing against many commercial entities for users who are looking for easy enterprise and distributed computing (Typesafe, Spring ...) so I am not sure that is the way to get more people involved. I think concentrating on the type of person who is willing to take the time to learn and configure their project so they have an optimal solution for the long term would probably pull in more people.

Re: Need help debugging Felix OSGi bundles (with Eclipse)
Hi, you should investigate "remote debug" with Eclipse which involves starting Java with some parameters and creating a Debug Configuration in Eclipse. > On 12 Sep 2015, at 20:31, Pedro Domingues wrote: > > Hi, > > I really need to debug my code by the use of breakpoints, however this seems > a complex undertaking with an OSGi container. > > I have Eclipse and Felix (both the latest).

Re: Need help debugging Felix OSGi bundles (with Eclipse)
What goes wrong when you add: -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005 to the java command line and then attach from Eclipse?

Need help debugging Felix OSGi bundles (with Eclipse)
Hi, I really need to debug my code by the use of breakpoints, however this seems a complex undertaking with an OSGi container. I have Eclipse and Felix (both the latest). My project is a raw OSGi project, I am not using PDE, just maven bundle plugin to generate the bundles and then copy them to the /bundle folder in felix, then I perform java -jar bin/felix.jar and the project runs. So no fuss here. However I cannot debug the application that way. I've tried to read the docs (http://felix.apache.org/documentation/development/integrating-felix-with-eclipse.html) but they are outdated/broken and cant make them work... How can I debug this? Will I have to avoid using OSGi just because debug is not supported...? :( Thanks! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@felix.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@felix.apache.org
