Eclipse 3.x unable to debug tomcat 5.5 with java 1.6.0_14?

I'm trying to launch and debug tomcat 5.5 with a webapp in java 6.

I have set up JAVA_HOME in the tomcat's eclipse configuration (in "replace environment" mode) but I get the following error:

ERROR: transport error 202: gethostbyname: unknown host

ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)

JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:690]

FATAL ERROR in native method: JDWP No transports initialized, jvmtiError=AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197)

If I launch directly the startup.bat, it works fine.

Does anybody managed to solve it?

Thanks!

Solution

  • Is this a firewall issue?

    Otherwise you need to compare:

    • the command line used by the eclipse launcher and
    • the one generated by the startup.bat

    (through a tool like ProcessExplorer for instance)
