Eclipse debugging: source not found for

I know this is a frequently asked question, but I have been looking for a solution to my problem online since yesterday and could not find anyone!

I use Eclipse Helios with Tomcat 6.0.2, when I ever try to debug my code with tomcat and eclipse, I get a Source not found error message, this even applies to the code that I wrote myself and not only all jar files

I have the java build path set correctly, I also use jdk1.6.0 and configured it correctly so that is not a problem, it shows the code when I debug if I right-click on the debug console and go to Edit Source Lookup... .. Since this will only show the source code for this debugger launch, when I set it in Run -> Debug Configurations and in the Java Application window to work with Tomcat and in the source tab, I added my project and all the jar, but that will not work either! when I debug again and go to Edit Source Lookup... it doesn't show me the project files and jar that I saved there

Does anyone have any ideas what could happen?

I solved my problem, well, on a workaround. In my catalina.bat file, I added the line

set JAVA_OPTS= -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=5001,server=y,suspend=n %JAVA_OPTS%

below where JAVA_OPTS set, this will listen on socket 5001 for any debugging requests. Then in eclipse under Debug Configurations... I created a new Remote Java Application and set the port to 5001 so that Tomcat would take it. Now when I launch tomcat using startup.bat , when the code hits the breakpoint, it opens in eclipse and I can debug like normal

Hope this helps others who have this problem.

This is actually very simple. Click "Change source path." You will get the following pop-up window where you need to click “Add” → This gives another pop-up window where you can click “Java Project” ---> This leads to another pop-up menu where you can select your project that you are debugging and done! Hope this works great.

Is it possible to debug code in other projects? if you don’t know, create a new dummy project and try to debug it

if you still get a source not found for all projects, then download a new copy of eclipse, attach it to a new copy of tomcat and add your dummy project to see if this work works. Hope this helps
