Title: Java debug and sequence diagrams
Post by: soril on January 28, 2007, 10:13:28 pm

Hello !

There is no way I can get this to work. Is it working better with MDG eclipse plug-in ?

I can build and make the application run but when I click on the "debug" button, it doesn't work. Instead, the following text appears :

"Loading Java Virtual Machine from path ....jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Obtained Java virtual Machine version 1.4"

And then, nothing ! No error message or anything but no expected behavior neither.

Thank you for your help !

Check the documentation carefully. I'm not sure (since I don't debug Java sessions) but I think I remember a minimum version of 1.5 someplace.

I tried with JDK 1.6 also without success.

Is the JVM in your Windows path?

I can type "java" anywhere and it will run the JVM (the PATH environment variable is already set to include the JDK).

Thank you guys for your help ! I'm trying to make this work, without success so far. If you have any idea, please let me know since I want to try this reverse engineering for the sequence diagrams but I can't make that feature to work.

That's all I can think of.

However, by no means does that suggest there isn't more you can do. Just that I've little experience in this area.

There have been quite a few postings here about Java configuration, including debug sessions. Try a search of the forum.

Experience - happy or otherwise - has taught me that you should try several search word combinations. Also, remember to go back quite a ways. Try 500 days or so.

Thank you for your help ! :)

When I search the forum, I cannot find anyone that make it work.

So I don't know if that feature is working at all. The EA documentation doesn't seeem clear and I have seen a demo (http://www.sparxsystems.com/resources/demos/index.html)
But the demo doesn't work even if I follow these steps !

I must be doing something wrong... but the feature surely is not easy to use.

Thank you again for your time

I tried MDG Eclipse and it seems that I cannot generate sequence diagrams using the EA interface anymore. Is that correct ?

My hope was to be able to integrate eclipse with EA so that I could debug in eclipse and be able to generate the corresponding sequence diagram, the same way it happens if I could make the java debugger work in EA (without the MDG plug-in) but that doesn't seem to be true. Documentation does not mention this.

Thank you for assistance.
