I am trying to debug, with "activator -jvm-debug 9999 run" command. But my request stopped with this error:

Hi,

If you are running on windows, you should try the steps suggested by this blog => http://andikanugraha.com/2014/05/debug-typesafe-activator-play-framework-using-eclipse/

If you are on unix(mac or linux), the command that works for me is the same that you wrote :(.

Hi,

On windows, if you use SBT directly, you can add "-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=9999" to your command line. After you run sbt in your project, you will have to launch the debug connexion in your IDE to enable sbt to continue your project launching.

Here is my full sbt.bat :

set SCRIPT_DIR=%~dp0
java^
 -Xms512M^
 -Xmx1536M^
 -Xss1M^
 -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled^
 -Dsbt.ivy.home=D:/dev/ivy^
 -Divy.home=D:/dev/ivy^
 -Dfile.encoding=UTF8^
 -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=9999^
 -jar "%SCRIPT_DIR%sbt-launch.jar" %*

Cheers,
