How to Debug Maven Builds Using Remote Debugging
This guide explains how to start Maven in debug mode, configure a remote debugger to connect on port 8000, and perform step‑by‑step debugging of Maven builds, including the necessary command line and IDE settings.
To debug a Maven build, first start Maven in debug mode on the target machine using the command mvndebug clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true, which prints messages indicating preparation and listening on port 8000.
Next, configure the IDE (or other debug client) with a remote debugging configuration, setting the host to the target machine and the port to 8000, and select "use module classpath" to debug the Maven plugin module.
Finally, launch the debug session; the console will show that the debugger is attached to port 8000, and execution will pause at any breakpoints, allowing step‑by‑step debugging.
