Connect the debugger to a JVM
There is a lot of way to connect the debugger to the JVM.
Java
- loading in-process debugging libraries and specifiing the kind of connection to be made.
java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n MyClass
where:
- suspend=y/n , controls whether the JVM should wait for the debugger to attach before starting up.
Attach
- attaching the jdb command to the JVM:
jdb -attach 8000
