I know there\'s some JAVA_OPTS to set to remotely debug a Java program.
What are they and what do they mean ?

I have this article bookmarked on setting this up for Java 5 and below.
Basically run it with:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044
For Java 5 and above, run it with:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=1044
Before Java 5.0, use -Xdebug
and -Xrunjdwp
arguments. These options will still work in later versions, but it will run in interpreted mode instead of JIT, which will be slower.
From Java 5.0, it is better to use the -agentlib:jdwp
single option:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044
Options on -Xrunjdwp
or agentlib:jdwp
arguments are :
transport=dt_socket
: means the way used to connect to JVM (socket is a good choice, it can be used to debug a distant computer)address=8000
: TCP/IP port exposed, to connect from the debugger, suspend=y
: if \'y\', tell the JVM to wait until debugger is attached to begin execution, otherwise (if \'n\'), starts execution right away.Since Java 9.0 JDWP supports only local connections by default. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/9-notes-3745703.html#JDK-8041435
For remote debugging one should run program with *:
in address:
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:8000
For java 1.5 or greater:
java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 <YourAppName>
For java 1.4:
java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 <YourAppName>
For java 1.3:
java -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 <YourAppName>
Here is output from a simple program:
java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=1044 HelloWhirled
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 1044
Hello whirled
There\'s a lot of environment problems if you are using Maven. So, if you start your program from maven, just run the mvnDebug
command in place of mvn
and attach a debugger on port 8000. It you take care of all the environment problems.
java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8001,suspend=y -jar target/cxf-boot-simple-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
address
specifies the port at which it will allow to debug
Debug Spring Boot app with Maven: mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.jvmArguments=\"-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8001\"
