Over the last several weeks I've received a few questions about remote
debugging with Eclipse. I posted about this on my other blog back in February
here but with not enough info for others to follow.

So without further ado here is how I use Tomcat, JBoss, and Eclipse to build
and debug applications.
Whichever platform you are using (Tomcat or JBoss) you need to start them
with the JPDA debugging enabled. For Tomcat this is very easy. In the
$CATALINA_HOME/bin directory there is a script catalina.sh. If you provide

In my mind this is not so easy to resolve. I know managers (especially on
very big projects) need a way to judge the quality of what is being
delivered, but often they take their statistics far too seriously.
As an example, take code coverage calcula... (more)

and I've accumulated a lot of notes of what I like and don't like in this
latest of the drops before we get 3.0 final. Over all I am really impressed
with this release. I wen... (more)
