Hi, I'm new to Installshield MP and wonder how to perform a debugging session of a custom bean for example in Eclipse. I didn't find any information related to this in the documentation or this forum...
However, it might be clear by concept to long-time IS MP developer. Can someone please point me to the related information?
1) kick off your installer from the commandline with the debug parameters eg. java -Xdebug -Djava.complier=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5555 -jar setup.jar
note: choose a port that is not in use
2) from eclipse a) select the debug perspective b) add a break point in the required class c) select menu item "run > debug" d) select "Remote Java Application" item e) select new, and enter "localhost" and the port you specified above f) click debug g) step through your code
note: this is for installer runtime, not build time
You approach makes sense to me - I can connect the debugger and everything seems to be ok. However the breakpoints in my beans are ignored. Breakpoints in customcode are active.
