    Solution for windows:

    First you have to modyfy your tomcat startup script (startup.bat):

    Put this on top of the startup.bat

    set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000
set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket
...

    Then modyfy the following line (nearly at hte end of startup.bat):

    call "%EXECUTABLE%" start %CMD_LINE_ARGS%

    to

    call "%EXECUTABLE%" jpda start %CMD_LINE_ARGS%

    Now you can start tomcat by executing startup.bat and tomcat opens the port 8000 for debuging.

    Second step is to configure Eclipse:

    Select Run > Debug Configurations …

    Create a new configuration by selecting ‘Remote Java Application’ with a right click.

    Check that the right Project is selected.

    And modyfy the Connection properties. (Note that the port has to be same (8000) as entered in startup.bat and not the port on which your struts app is running)

    Finaly you have to click on Debug

    Now you should be able to set breakpoints.
