A simple scenario --- Just deploy a EAR application on local machine and want to use eclipse to debug it.

1. In order to use eclipse to do the debug, do I have to deploy the application in "exploded" mode ? does the debug feature work if it is deployed with a single .ear file to local server ?

2. There are 2 ways to start the server, either using a eclipse plug-in to start the server from eclipse, or start the app server from console. In order for the debug feature to work, which way can I use to start the server ?

thanks.

Ben,
What server are you asking about? The answer to this varies depending on your server and Eclipse plugin. Sharing this information will help someone answer the question.

Sun Java System Application Server, it is free.
