How to start multiple debugging sessions in Eclipse with one click?

I am currently writing a GWT application through Eclipse. Eclipse is used for development, but I use the m2eclipse plugin and Maven pom.xml with the GWT plugin to create and run it.

When I need to debug an application, I have to:

  • Call "Run As ..." in the Maven project (via m2eclipse) "war: exploded gwt: debug". This starts the GWT application server and waits for a remote debugging connection on port 3408. The need to wait until the WAR is detonated means that this may be a minute for this.
  • Call the "Debug As ..." Remote Java application to connect to the server.

I already added both goals to my favorites to block them in the drop-down list, but it's still a pain.

I would like to run them in a one-click sequence, and not from two discrete actions.

Is there a way in Eclipse to achieve this?

Try this plugin. http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/escripts

You can easily define Eclipse action scripts. You create a script to start 2 debugging sessions, then run one click or shortcut.

EDIT: The plugin has been moved and is now called EASE.

"Launch Groups" are part of the CDT. Officially supported, easy to install.

Why are you running this? Can't you run it with the GWT plugin? Go to Run Configurations Web Application (blue circle with a "g" inside) and create a new launch configuration.

In it, on the Home tab, enter (or select) the project and enter com.google.gwt.dev.DevMode in the Main class.

In the "Arguments" type -remoteUI "${gwt_remote_ui_server_port}:${unique_id}" -logLevel INFO -port 8888 -war path_to_your_dir_with_WEB-INF_directory com.package.your.Module
