Java – how to start multiple debugging sessions in eclipse by clicking?

I am currently writing GWT applications through eclipse Eclipse is used for development, but I use the m2eclipse plug-in and Maven POM with the GWT plug-in XML to build & run

When I need to debug an application, I must:

>Call "run as..." (through m2eclipse) "War: explosion GWT: debug" on Maven project This will start GWT's application server and wait for a remote debug connection on port 3408 The need to wait for the war to explode means that it may take a minute to achieve. > Call the "debug as..." remote Java application to connect to the server

I've added two goals to my favorites to lock them in the drop-down list, but it's still painful

I want to start them sequentially by clicking instead of two discrete actions

Is there a way to achieve this in eclipse?

Solution

Try this plugin http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/escripts

You can easily define scripts for eclipse operations You create a script to start a 2 debugging session, and then click or shortcut to run it

Edit: the plug-in has been moved and is now called ease
