Debug web app in IntelliJ, webapp built by maven, run by jetty
Solution 1
The easiest way is to:
- Expand your project in the
Maven Projects
tab. - Expand
Plugins
>jetty
items. - Right-click
jetty:run
. - Choose
Debug
from the context menu.
Solution 2
I know it's too late to reply this question, but It's worth sharing the latest update on this issue as a modern solution: You can also run jetty using “mvnDebug jetty:run
” which has the same effect. Which display the following logs in the terminal
Preparing to Execute Maven in Debug Mode
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
Just remember to choose the correct socket address(e.g. 8000), then:
- Open Intellij
- Run -> Edit Configuration
- In Run/Debug Configuration window, you need to click on (+) button to add a new configuration
- Select Remote
- Keep the default configuration as is, just change the listening port to corresponding one (8000).
Enjoy.
Solution 3
When I was getting "main config file not included" it was because the path to Jetty in my Application Server configuration (on Run/Debug Configurations dialog) was deleted during my OS X upgrade (I had put it in /usr/share/java).
I reinstalled jetty-hightide-8.1.5.v20120716 under /usr/local, updated the configuration and all is well.

I'm using s/o code, it's a java webapp built by maven. The webapp is run by maven script, like below, and the app is run on localhost:8080, :
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId> <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>8.1.8.v20121106</version> <configuration> <contextPath>/</contextPath> <connectors> <connector implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector"> <!--<port>8085</port>--> <port>8080</port> <maxIdleTime>60000</maxIdleTime> </connector> </connectors> <stopKey>stop</stopKey> <stopPort>8089</stopPort> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
I want to attach the debugger of IntelliJ so that I can step through the code. I tried to set up a debugger configuration like: Jetty Server, then 'Remote' but it said Application Server not specified. I also tried with 'Local', it said 'main config file not included'.
So what must I do to attach the debugger? Thanks in advance.

manasouza almost 7 yearsDefinitely this should be the best answer

sergpank over 6 yearsThis is definitely the best answer for the case when the one needs remote debugging!

Basil Bourque almost 6 yearsI can vouch for this approach with IntelliJ 2018.2 on macOS.
