I’m currently struggling to get the new ColdFusion Eclipse code debugger working. I have what I think are all of the correct settings within Eclipse and the ColdFusion administrator.
While trying to figure out why things aren’t working, I came across this within the cfusion-out log file:
ColdFusion debugger is listening at port 1511
Curious, I browsed to localhost:1511 and was greeted with a HTTP 404 page with a note saying “Powered by Jetty”. Jetty is a free and open source Java web server and servlet container. As Jetty is small and lightweight, it is commonly used to provide services in Java applications. I wonder what part it plays in the ColdFusion debugging tool.
And if anyone knows why I keep getting “Error connecting to JVM for debugging at localhost:5005″, whenever I try and launch the ColdFusion debugger from Eclipse, please let me know!
