How to debug a gerrit plugin with eclipse?

[Paladin Wonder]

I am a beginner of gerrit developer, 

I've setup a gerrit server in my localhost, and install my plugin on it, but it seems doesn't work.

How can I get the log or debug it with eclipse? 

That's what I have done:

1, installed maven tools to eclipse and compile&package success

2, add configuration in ./etc/gerrit.config:   

    container.javaOptions = -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8998,server=y,suspend=n

Please help me with more informaiton, Thanks

This article[1] should help you. You are only missing last part which
is adding a 'remote debug' configuration to eclipse.

Is it loaded? Or what do you mean by doesn't work?

The easiest way would be to import Gerrit project in Eclipse, see [1] and [2].

Then you can just start Gerrit from Eclipse, put a breakpoint in your plugin

code, add path to source file(s) and it just works.

What do you mean 'start Gerrit from Eclipse'?  Gerrit can be started by 'Run' action? If so, it sounds great

You want 'Debug' and not 'Run' action, yes. And not only that, Gerrit doesn't

need to be restarted for UI changes and other smalll changes, because Buck

is invoked from Eclipse too.
