Problem debugging Seam apps in Eclipse/JBossIDE

[lawrieg]

I'm having a problem trying to debug Seam apps in Eclipse (I'm using Eclipse 3.2.1, JBossIDE 2.0.0 Beta2, and JBoss AS 4.0.5 with EJB3 profile). When I set a breakpoint inside any class which uses annotations, and try to debug code, I get the following dialog:

Unable to install breakpoint in
com.mydomain.myproject.Converters$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$2b84c6ef
due to missing line number attributes. Modify compiler options to generate line number attributes.

Reason:
Absent Line Number Information

My build.xml has debug on for javac tasks, and I have line numbers turned on in both my global preferences and project specific settings, and my JBoss server is started in debug mode. I can use breakpoints in classes that don't have annotations (i.e. that aren't enhanced by CGLib) - I just can't make it work for classes which are annotated.

Googling hasn't turned up any possible solutions, so I'd be really grateful for some help here... Any ideas???

Thanks,

Lawrie

Is it only me having this problem? (Or perhaps I'm the only person on this forum who uses Eclipse ;) )

Are you able to successfully debug your Seam apps in Eclipse? (And, if so, what versions are you using, and did you have to set up any special config options?)

Any help would be much appreciated...

Thanks,

Lawrie

Currently I'm freally just using Eclipse as a glorified editor, and using Ant to compile/build/deploy, but I am using JBossIDE JBoss Server View to start JBoss AS in debug mode.

I take it I would have to set up my Seam project completely as an Eclipse project (with compile/build/deploy being performed by Eclipse rather than Ant) in order to set up debugging as detailed in the other post?

Nope. I use an seam-gen based ant script, I just add -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n as 'VM arguements' to the server launch config, start it in normal mode, then attach a debugger as described. I've never got it to launch using the debug start.

Just start the JBoss server in debug mode from the server view and debugging will just work(tm). You can compile and deploy with ant.

My project does start with in debug using eclipse, but it seems to time out. It will just die with no error after a minute or so.

Has anyone else seen this?

I've seen this same error message in creating a new seam project. In my case, I resolved it by adding the source lookup path for the new project to the Eclipse Debug source tab. You get there by poking the Debug icon and selecting Debug from the menu This brings up a dialog that includes a source tab. You might check to see that your source directory is added here.
