I am using eclipse (Java EE edition) to write Java servlets and I would like to utilize the debugging functionality. However, I was reading the tutorial to set this up and when I got to the stage the choose a "Server Runtime Environment", I got stuck. I am using Resin, which does not appear to be in the list of available server runtimes. Is there any way to get around this? Is the debugging unusable with Resin?

+2  A: 

You will need to run your server in a remote debug mode:

After that connect your eclipse to the server by choosing debug configuration -> new remote java application (in which you will need to insert the address and the port of the server.

This concept is valid to pretty much all type of servers.

I haven't had time to implement this yet, but I looked at the link, and it seems to be what I was looking for, so I am flagging this post as the answer for now
