How to Debug Java Application using VIM/GVIM?

Question

I asked this question previously (any-good-tutorial-for-moving-from-eclipse-to-vim)

From the inputs, I started using GVIM instead of Eclipse. I added ctags to it and I am able to navigate now comfortably.

The only problem left for me is "Debugging"? I tried searching for some links, and couldn't find a useful one?

If anyone using or familiar with Java Debugging using vim/Gvim, can provide their inputs/ links/tutorials, it would be very helpful.

Solution 1

Your best bet seems to be integration of the command line debugger jdb, one such solution is yavdb, another is JavaKit.

Solution 2

Eclim now supports a Java debugger. See http://eclim.org/vim/java/debug.html

Solution 3

You may not avoid installing a standalone debugger

(like an eclipse you will use only for remote debugging your application)
