java – remote debugging tomcat 8.5 with eclipse 2023-06

I keep on getting a connection time-out error when trying to debug my Tomcat web app remotely using Eclipse.

The way I’ve configured:

bin/setenv.bat:

set JPDA_OPTS=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n

server.xml:

< Connector port=”8000″ address=”0.0.0.0″ protocol=”HTTP/1.1″ connectionTimeout=”20000″ redirectPort=”8443″ debug=”1″/>

In Eclipse I created a new remote java application in the debug configuration with host name as the server’s IP and port 8000.

I created a rule in firewall to enable the port.

what am I missing?

Also – how do I find an open port to use for debugging? what is the correct approach?
