Debug Helidon MP Application - helidon

I'm new to Helidon MP and I'm trying to implement my first microservice.
I wasn't able to find out how to debug my application, can someone point me to a good example or documentation? Is there a way to start the runtime in debug mode or something like this?
thanks in advance

Helidon MP is not really a runtime in the sense of being an application server. It's primarily a collection of libraries you add to your project. Therefore you debug programs that use Helidon like you would debug any other Java application, i.e. by adding Java debug switches to the command line.
Here is the output from java -agentlib:jdwp=help, which should get you started with basic Java debugging:
$ $(/usr/libexec/java_home -v11)/bin/java -agentlib:jdwp=help

The server exited prematurely with exit code 1 GlassFish 4

I've been trying to start the glassfish server domain with the following command asadmin start-domain domain1 but the result wasn't the expected. This what the outputs is throwing out:
Waiting for domain1 to start .Error starting domain domain1.
The server exited prematurely with exit code 1.
Before it died, it produced the following output:

Command start-domain failed.
Btw I've already tried changing the network-listener-port number located inside glassfish folders C:\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\config\domain.xml from port 8080 to 4949 and it didn't work. Besides I also tried running the start-domain domain1 command in the asadmin batch file and nothing happened, the output still the same.
Any idea how can I fix this out?
I tried to start it with asadmin.sh and it worked on Windows 10

how to make remote debug `/gradlew jettyRun` in idea

I set an environment variable export GRADLE_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005", and add a remote debug in idea>Run>edit configurations .
But it doesn't works when I run ./gradlew jettyRun.
The following is the output.
Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005
enter code here Error listing versions of org.codehaus.groovy:groovy using class org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.repositories.resolver.MavenVersionLister$1. Will attempt an alternate way to list versions. This behaviour has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0

JVMTI native agent (DLL) can not be loaded to a runing Java program - AgentLoadException

I struggled on this issue for a few days but didn't get a right answer yet.
Here is the Problem Description:
I wrote a normal Java program (Program-A), and wrote a Windows-based native agent (*.dll, written in C/C++) with Agent_OnLoad, Agent_OnAttach, Agent_OnUnload method, which works fine if using Java command-line flag (-agentlib). Then I wrote another Java program to attach the native agent onto a runing the Java Program-A (see the below code piece for VM attach and loadAgentPath), however I got the exception:
com.sun.tools.attach.AgentLoadException: Failed to load agent library
I tried to change the agentPath (absolute or relative file path) this or that way, none of these works. Should I try some other way to make this work. What I need is to attach a native agent onto a runing java program rather than using command-line flag.
Does anyone know the root cause or a clue for the solution?
BTW, the command line to run attach VM Java code as:
java -Djava.library.path=D:\DevTools\Java7\jre7\bin -classpath .;./tools.jar com.xxx.TestAgentVMAttacher
...
VirtualMachine virtualMachine = com.sun.tools.attach.VirtualMachine.attach(pid); // Note: this code line is executed normally, I am sure the pid is correct
...
agentPath = theFilePath + "/myagent.dll"; // Note: I am sure the dll file path is correct
virtualMachine.loadAgentPath(agentPath,null); // Note: this code line would cause the exception (AgentLoadException) as I mentioned above, no matter how I set the agentPath, even I set it as null, same exception happened.
Environment related info:
- OS: Windows XP
- Java Version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Eventually I found the answer for my question, I had a wrong method name ('Agent_Attach') in Agent.cpp file, the correct one should be 'Agent_OnAttach', with this fix, my agent lib (.dll) can be loaded to a running Java program now.

Unable to start Active MQ on Linux

I am trying to get ActiveMQ server running on a RaspberryPI Debian Squeeze box and all appears to be installed correctly but when I try and start the service I am getting the following...
root#raspberrypi:/var/www/activemq/apache-activemq-5.7.0# bin/activemq
INFO: Loading '/etc/default/activemq'
INFO: Using java '/usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java'
/usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java: 1: /usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java:ELF0
4°: not found
/usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java: 2: /usr/jre1.7.0_07/bin/java: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Tasks provided by the sysv init script:
restart - stop running instance (if there is one), start new instance
console - start broker in foreground, useful for debugging purposes
status - check if activemq process is running
setup - create the specified configuration file for this init script
(see next usage section)
Configuration of this script:
The configuration of this script can be placed on /etc/default/activemq or /root/.activemqrc.
To use additional configurations for running multiple instances on the same operating system
rename or symlink script to a name matching to activemq-instance-<INSTANCENAME>.
This changes the configuration location to /etc/default/activemq-instance-<INSTANCENAME> and
$HOME/.activemqrc-instance-<INSTANCENAME>. Configuration files in /etc have higher precedence.
root#raspberrypi:/var/www/activemq/apache-activemq-5.7.0#
It looks like there is an error somewhere but I am a fairly newbie at this and don't know where to look.
Just adding an answer since,becoz as per the documentation , the command is wrong
to start activemqm, use
Navigate to [installation directory/bin] and run ./activemq start or simple bin/activemq start
if you want to see it live in a window use bin/activemq console
To stop, you have to kill the process
The default ActiveMQ "getting started" link sends u here : http://activemq.apache.org/getting-started.html which is the "Getting Started Guide for ActiveMQ 4.x".
If you scroll down main documentation page, you will find this link with the proper commands :
http://activemq.apache.org/version-5-getting-started.html

How do I use the vxWorks debug agent to perform pre-kernel debugging?

The vxWorks documentation states:
The WDB agent itself is independent of the target operating system: it
attaches to run-time OS services through a virtual-function run-time
interface. The WDB agent can execute before VxWorks is running (as in
the early stages of porting a BSP to a new board)."
How can I use the debug agent before the vxWorks kernel is running?
First, in order to be able to use the agent to perform pre-kernel debugging, you must have a serial port available for debugging. This serial port has to be initialized and functional as it will be the debug channel.
There is a limitation on how early you can start debugging. WDB based debugging will start after the first hardware initialization function runs (sysHwInit) and before the kernel initialization proper (kernelInit).
Depending on the version of vxWorks being used, there are different ways to achieve this result.
Workbench-based vxWorks builds
In the kernel configuration tool, you must select the following components:
WDB serial connection
WDB system debugging
WDB pre kernel system initialization
Depending on the order you select components, you might get complaints from workbench because some components are mutually exclusive (you can't have WDB END driver with pre-kernel debugging). The order above should be ok.
Command-line builds
Edit the config.h file, and select the following options:
#define WDB_INIT WDB_PRE_KERNEL_INIT
#define WDB_COMM_TYPE WDB_COMM_SERIAL
#define WDB_MODE WDB_MODE_SYSTEM
When vxWorks is compiled with those options, it will perform perform the first phase of hardware initialization and then suspend, waiting for the debug agent running on the host to connect to the target.
At that point, you can perform debugging, single step, etc...
