Question

hello I’ve been trying to find how to run a Java Play project in eclipse but I can’t find an easy way. Here is what I’ve done

Create a project

play new testApp

Go to the folder

cd testApp

Eclipsify the project

play eclipsify

Open eclipse and import as an existing project, but then I don’t know how to run the server from eclipse

NOTE:
I know that I can run it in the console also. The problem is that I’ve added an Eclispe project to the buildpath using Eclipse so If I run it in the console I think it will not work, or am I wrong?

Answer 1

Play eclipsify creates a run configuration for you.

Run –> Run Configurations –> Java Applications –> testApp

If you need to debug first run the application as indicated then

Run –> Debug Configurations –> Remote Java Applications –> Connect JPDA to testApp
