How to debug a Java application using VIM / GVIM?

Question

I asked this question earlier ( any-good-tutorial-for-moving-from-eclipse-to-vim )

On inputs, I started using GVIM instead of Eclipse. I added ctags to it, and now I can navigate comfortably.

The only problem left for me is "Debugging"? I tried to find some links and could not find a useful file?

If anyone using or familiar with Java Debugging using vim / Gvim can provide their inputs / links / tutorials, that would be very helpful.

Answer 1

It is best to integrate the jdb command line debugger, one of these solutions is yavdb , the other is JavaKit .

Answer 2

Eclim now supports the Java debugger. See http://eclim.org/vim/java/debug.html

Answer 3

You cannot avoid installing a standalone debugger

(for example, an eclipse that you will only use to debug your application remotely)

Answer 4

Eclim offers integration between Vim and Eclipse. It should allow you to use the Eclipse debugger in Vim

Answer 5

There is a great vim plugin for netbeans called jVi, http://jvi.sourceforge.net/
