This repository will provide a client for the Debug Adapter implementation for Apache Camel. As a first step, manual steps are provided to use the Debug Adapter for Apache Camel inside your Eclipse instance.

The advantage is that a minimal set of information is visible.

• Install extension from this repository
• Launch the Camel (3.16+) application that you want to debug with camel-debug on the classpath
• Create a Camel Textual debug debug configuration

In the Camel Textual debug debug configuration, you can provide additional parameters. For instance when trying to connect to a remote JMX URL: { "request": "attach", "attach_jmx_url":"<aJMXURL>" }

it is also possible to use the PID of the Camel application:

{ "request": "attach", "attach_pid":"<pidOfCamelApplication>" }

The advantage is that it is giving more power on the actions and the versions to use.
