[Exist-open] Running eXist-db in debug mode in IntelliJ IDEA

[Loren C. <lor...@gm...>]

I had looked for instructions on running exits in debug mode and was unsuccessful.  I then took a look at my local IntelliJ IDEA and saw Java Admin Client in the run configurations.  So here is a very quick how to on running eXist-db in debug mode.


Select the run configuration ‘Local Jetty Server’



Click on the debug icon



Click in the sidebar of the source code where the line numbers are and a red dot shall appear.  That is a breakpoint.  Go through your actions in eXist-db until one of the breakpoints is tripped.
