You don't need to compile or run the code in Eclipse to debug Nutch. All you need is to pass the appropriate JVM params with NUTCH_OPTS (sorry the actual params are on my other laptop but I have mentioned it on the list several times) and use remote debugging in Eclipse (assuming of course that Nutch runs in non-distributed mode). Nutch is meant to be compiled with ANT and ran with its script, however it could be interesting to investigate the use of Karmasphere with Nutch for debugging and testing. Has anyone tried that?
As for understanding the code - well all its takes is to point to the location of the sources + possibly use IvyDE for getting rid of the error messages Julien requirement for anyone wishing to debug/understand how classes work in Nutch > 1.3, when the time comes around any opinions/comments you have would be a > great addition. > Thanks > > 2011/6/30 Nutch User - 1 <[email protected]> > > > On 01/01/2011 08:52 AM, jeffersonzhou wrote: > > > When you new a Java project for Nutch 1.3, what default location did > you > > > use?
