Debug mode for plugins does not work on Eclipse

Hi,
I am developing a plugin for Visual paradigm on Eclipse and to debug it I followed the steps presented in this guide: Debug your plugins with Eclipse - Visual Paradigm Know-how, but even having followed the guide step by step, debugging does not work and this is what is shown:
Eclipse Error
The only difference I found with the guide is that I am missing the lib08.jar library, which is not in the “lib” folder of the Visual Paradigm directory. I don’t know if that’s the problem.
Below I leave the console log.
Log debug.log (56.6 KB)
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for your reply and have a good day.

Hi m.ricchiuti13,

Hi m.ricchiuti13,

Could you try again by adding the following JVM arguments?

–add-exports java.desktop/com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.text=ALL-UNNAMED

Hi Jick,
Thanks so much for your help. Your suggestion is partially right because I should add the following JVM arguments:

--add-exports java.desktop/com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.text=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.desktop/com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif=ALL-UNNAMED

I’m writing this because if anyone has the same problem they can find the solution here.

Hi m.ricchiuti13,

Many thanks. I will share your finding with our development team. :slight_smile:

That is the thing that I was searching for, what a data present here at this site, thank you administrator.

In the Working directory field, select Other > File System…, and then specify Visual Paradigm/bin folder. Press Apply to commit. After that you can press the Debug button to start debugging your plugin. You can change the source of your plugin directly in eclipse.

Thanks for solution. It also help my querry.
