Seeking advice: combined usage of Gretty with IntelliJ

[dulakm]

Hello,

as of 18th April 2020, I am still unable to run Gretty debug session in one click as described here: akhikhl#435

Please, is there any possibility for this to be implemented in Gretty? It would make working with the plugin 100x easier.

Thank you,
Martin

Hi Martin, does that seem to you as duplicate of #152?

Boris, thank you for your answer. As already pointed in the linked issue, it seems like a different problem. The one described by me is necessity to run appRunDebug and then to attach remote debugger in IntelliJ.

As experienced with Spring Boot, Spring+Maven+Tomcat or other platforms, it usually takes nothing more than to right-click Gradle task (as appRun) and run it in IntelliJ debug mode.

I haven't actually got any time to investigate how this works on background but as I understood by quick search, it requires Gretty process to use debug port number created by IntelliJ.
