<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>When debugging an Arquillian test using a remote container, we usually do the following steps:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><ul><li style="text-align: start;">create a project</li><li style="text-align: start;">add the Arquillian support</li><li style="text-align: start;">create a test</li><li style="text-align: start;">configure Maven profiles</li><li style="text-align: start;">create a JBoss server</li><li style="text-align: start;">start the server in the debug mode</li><li style="text-align: start;">start the test in the debug mode</li></ul><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>We can debug the classes from the project's source by adding the Eclipse Java Project source container to the Source Lookup. </p><p>However, if we want to debug some Arquillian code in a server (remote) JVM, adding the Eclipse container won't be enough. The Arquillian classes aren't included in a JBoss server and the Java Project source container searches only the project's source folders.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>If we can deploy the project, the JBoss Source Lookup plugin will solve all the classes from a mavenized archive so that we can debug the classes from such a project.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>If we can't (or don't want to) deploy the project, we can use <strong>the JBoss Java Project Source Container</strong> from the arquillian eclipse plugin.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>The JBoss Java Project Source Container</strong> is similar to the Java Project source container. The differ is that it searches classes from the project's classpath. The container solves source files for all the classes from a mavenized library included in the classpath. </p><p>The project can, but doesn't have to be a Maven project.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Test case:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><ul><li style="text-align: start;">create a JBoss AS Server</li><li style="text-align: start;">import the JBoss Central Java EE project (don't deploy it)</li><li style="text-align: start;">set a breakpoint in the org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian.methodInvoker(FrameworkMethod, Object) method (at line 270 in Arquillian 1.0.3)</li><li style="text-align: start;">start the server in the debug mode</li><li style="text-align: start;">debug MemberRegistrationTest</li></ul><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The Eclipse won't open the Arquillian source file, which happens because this method is called from within the server's JVM that doesn't know anything about the Java EE project.</p><p>Adding the Eclipse Java Project source container won't help because it adds only source folders. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><ul><li style="text-align: start;"><span>install the Arquilian eclipse plugin from </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://snjeza.github.com/arquillian-eclipse" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://snjeza.github.com/arquillian-eclipse</a><span> (JBoss Tools nightly build is required - </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/trunk/" target="_blank">http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/trunk/</a><span>) </span></li><li style="text-align: start;">add <strong>the JBoss Java Project Source Container</strong> to the Source Lookup</li></ul><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>You will be able to debug any class from the project.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>It is possible to create different helper projects and add the container to different remote launch configurations.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>The JBoss Java Project Source Container</strong> isn't related to the arquillian-eclipse feature and/or JBoss servers and can be added to any launch configuration.
