Before any interaction with OFBiz in Eclipse be sure to run "gradlew eclipse". This generate the information Eclipse needs about the OFBiz project. |
Run OFBiz in debug mode and debug in Eclipse
Step 1: Run OFBiz in debug mode
Normally we start OFBiz with the command line
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -jar ofbiz.jar
Code Block |
---|
gradlew ofbiz
|
To start in debug mode use the command line %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8091 -jar ofbiz.jar
This changed command line instructs java to
R17.12 and R18.12
Code Block |
---|
gradlew ofbizDebug
|
Trunk and after R18.12
Code Block |
---|
gradlew ofbiz --debug-jvm
|
This run in debug mode listening for a socket connection on port 8091 5005 for a debugger to connect. You can change the port number to any port not otherwise being usedSo unlike with Ant you have to connect a Debugger at this port for OFBiz to continue.
Step 2: Connect to OFBiz with Eclipse as a Debugger
Before connecting you have to create a new debug configuration. *
- In Eclipse choose Run->Debug... from the menu. A Debug window should pop up.
- Select
Remote Java Application
from the tree on the left. - Click
New
(button on the bottom left). - Type a name at the top (OFBiz, perhaps?)
- On the Connect tab
- Pick
ofbiz
for the project - Select
Standard (Socket Attach)
for Connection Type - Type
localhost
for host - Type
8091
(or whatever port you chose) for port5005
- Pick
- On the Source tab
- Click
Add Projects...
(buttons on the right) - Select the ofbiz project
- Click
- Click
Apply
If you have OFBiz running debug (Step 1 above) you can start debugging by clickingDebug
(on the bottom) now.
You know that you are connected when you see a start/stop button in the debug perspective of Eclipse.No Format First created by Jarrod Ribble.

Debugging (or
...
running) OFBiz
...
inside Eclipse
- Select OFBiz project, right-click on it -> Run As -> Run ... (alike for Debug)
- Select Java Application and click on New
- Set Run configuration name to OFBiz
- Main tab:
- Project: OFBiz
- Main class: org.ofbiz.base.start.Start
- If you need it (to trace a framework bug in the 1st loaded class) you may use the "Stop in Main" Option
- Arguments:
VM arguments: \ -Xms(minValue)M \ -Xmx(maxValue)M + \["-Duser.language=en only if using another locale on Windows\] (typically minValue = 128, maxValue = 512, more is better of M (typically minValue = 128, maxValue = 1024, more is better of course)Wiki Markup - In some case (Suse SL 10.1 at least) it's better to not define any VM arguments but let the defaults values.
- Working directory: Use default working directory
- Classpath
- Bootstrap Entries: JRE System Library
- User Entries: build/libs/ofbiz.jar from OFBiz project
- Don't forget to remove the entry "ofbiz (default classpath)" else you may have a message "Can't find bundle for base name cache, locale ..."
- Source tab
- Click
Add Projects...
(buttons on the right) - Select the ofbiz project
- Click
- Environment
- Add environment variable LC_ALL=C (Optional, Linux only)
- Main tab:
- Click on Apply and Run (or Debug)

Note that when doing development work, you will have to stop OFBiz. Because this method treats OFBiz as a plain Java. You don't have any automatic classloading as you might be used to when using Eclipse-WTP and developing webapps.
