How can i start confluence or jira plugin project in debug mode from NetBeans?

[Neeraj]

I have configured my NetBeans 7.4 to develop Confluence or Jira plugins as per the instructions given on this page of atlassian docs

https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Configure+NetBeans+to+use+the+SDK

I am able to run the plugin project internally through the Netbeans IDE by applying this property to the project "com.atlassian.maven.plugins:maven-amps-dispatcher-plugin:4.2.10:run"

How can i start the plugin project in debug mode?

[Adrien Ragot (Play SQL / CYO) · Accepted solution]

Do the same, but instead of ...:run, use ...:debug.

Then you'll be able to debug it as a remote java application on port 5005.

Please check nb-atlassian-dev at bitbucket for a NetBeans plugin(s) that make developing Bamboo/Jira/... plugins easier in the IDE.
