[2.0.4] Using Eclipse: Computer-database example in debug mode

[David F]

After eclipsify and import into Eclipse I follow the instructions of:

1.  in console "play run debug"

2.  in eclipse rt click on computer-database, debug mode remote java application, localhost and port 9999.

But all I get is an error message that it cannot connect with the VM.  

Neither this google group nor stackexchange explains the problem.

In eclipse, I also try to set a breakpoint and then run the application but instead of running the application that I'm in (the computer-database) it asks whether I want to run a Junit, or Java application, etc.

So also, how do you simply get the application to run when setting a breakpoint?

How do you get past this VM connection problem message?

I own Peter Hilton's Manning/MEAP "Play for Scala" but he does not bring up debugging in Eclipse in his book.

TIA.

Run "play debug run" not "play run debug".  When running it, you should see the following as the first line of output:

Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 9999
