AGIS code debugging possible?

[MAeStRO]

Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible to use an IDE such as eclipse to debug the running atavism server.

If so, how is it done on a Windows 7 system?

Thanks.

Sadly it isn't currently possible as the server is executed via shell/bat scripts, not a java executable, and it is run as many different processes rather than one single entity making it much harder to run in debug mode via an IDE.

 

Currently I just use a lot of log messages and run the:

grep "String to search for" *.out

command to see what is happening in the code.

I've been looking a bit into the matter, and I've read that it is possible to remotely debug java processes even if you didn't start them, like link up to them after they are already running, but only if the process is started with debug args in the command.

Any chance for an option of the sort? Will it work?

I'll have to look into this and get back to you. If you know a bit about this stuff you can edit the world.sh to add the args yourself and see how that goes.
