the tutorial here was just right. i am able to start jetty from eclipse by executing a “external tools config” described there.
maven then printed:
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 4000
now i had to start the new “debug config” and the server began to come up.
when i came to my breakpoint the eclipse view changed to debug mode.
i got pointed to the tutorial form mojavelinux.com before here
it was told that i had to change the pom.xml file but i didn’t need to.
the post was pretty interesting for understanding on how it behaves.
