How to make debug working for tomcat when using Eclipse
I have a webapplication using Eclipse EE edition as IDE and tomcat as server. Now I need to debug my web applications. I use sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start to start tomcat, so that I put command JAVA_OPTS=$JAVA_OPTS -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_soc
into /etc/default/tomcat5.5
But when I start tomcat again, it says /etc/default/tomcat5.5: 18: -Xdebug: not found. How to correct it? In windows I put following line in catalina.bat. Then Eclipse remote debugging works.
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_soc
How to do it in linux?

Add quote could make tomcat startup, but Eclipse debug mode would not be activated using remote application.
how are you connecting with eclipse?
is eclipse running on same box or a different one?
is eclipse running on same box or a different one?

I use remote application to debug, I put connection type as "Standard(Socket attach)", host as "localhost" and port as 5000
if you are running eclipse on a different box then change localhost to the hostname of the box running tomcat

Yes. After add quotation, one need to restart tomcat. Now it works.
