Remote debug Apache Atlas Admin

[#1]

I want to remote debug Apache Atlas admin in Eclipse. Where exactly I have to set JVM debug options in Apache Atlas?

@Ayub Khan could you please share your thoughts on this.

1) Start Atlas in debug mode

first you want to add extra JVM options in the startup script , so in atlas_start.py replace this line

DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dlog4j.configuration=atlas-log4j.xml -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -server"

with this

DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dlog4j.configuration=atlas-log4j.xml -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -server -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=54371,server=y,suspend=y "

Now, when you start Atlas, it will hang until you connect with the debugger (because of the suspend=y).

2) connect from Eclipse remote debugger

Make sure you have imported the Atlas project into Eclipse based on this document: http://atlas.apache.org/EclipseSetup.html

Then create a new debug configurations under the following menu: /Run/Debug Configurations...

Make sure the port is set to the same above (54371) and connection type is Standard (socket attach)

Use Eclipse JDT launcher.
