GRAILS 3 debug in eclipse

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to debug a Grails 3 application with a single click from the eclipse (mars) IDE, just like a Java web application (or Java Spring Boot) that can do "server debugging".

You can run as gradle build ... but not debug as gradle build.

Is there a way to do this or is there an intention to have this functionality in the future?

Any eclipse plugin?

Thanks in advance.

I finally found a working solution. My version of the Eclipse IDE:

Version: Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)

Build Code: 20160218-0600

Installation Details → Installed Software:

Buildship: Eclipse Plug-ins for Gradle 1.0.11.v20160328-1759 org.eclipse.buildship.feature.group Eclipse Buildship Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 4.5.2.20160218-0600 epp.package.jee null Groovy Compiler 2.4 Feature 2.9.2.xx-201603042130-e45 org.codehaus.groovy24.feature.feature.group Codehaus.org Groovy-Eclipse Feature 2.9.2.xx-201603042130-e45 org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.feature.feature.group Codehaus.org Spring IDE Core (required) 3.7.3.201602250914-RELEASE org.springframework.ide.eclipse.feature.feature.group Spring IDE Developers 

After importing the project into the workspace, add the new Spring Boot App debugging configuration:

Enjoy the debugging.
