Re: how best debug your own Java Class Tool Agents ?

Hi,

in shark.conf there's property ToolAgentPluginDir. In that direcory you 
can put toolagent jars, which can be replaced without restarting shark.

If you want to debug shark, I think best way is remote debugging:
1. in shark's run.bat change this line:
start "Shark Server" "C:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_01\bin\java" -Xmx128M 
-Djava.ext.dirs=lib;lib\wrapper;lib\engine;lib\contrib; 
org.enhydra.shark.corba.SharkCORBAServer conf\Shark.conf
to match:
start "Shark Server" "C:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_01\bin\java" -Xmx128M -Xdebug 
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=3999,suspend=n,server=y 
-Djava.ext.dirs=lib;lib\wrapper;lib\engine;lib\contrib; 
org.enhydra.shark.corba.SharkCORBAServer conf\Shark.conf

2. Import Shark to Eclipse - there was some post with detail 
instructions here, but it's little bit older (about half a year, but i'm 
not sure)

3. Create remote debug configuration:
in menu: Run -> Debug... -> (Debug dialog is shown) -> choose Remote 
Java Application in left tree -> click button New
Set appropriate project, host: localhost, port: 3999 (as in run.bat)

4. run shark with modified run.bat

5. run remote debug in Eclipse

You can easily debug whole Shark including toolagents, set breakpoints, 
watches, everything...

Hope this helps..
