Configuring the Isight Design Gateway for Remote Debugging

To run the Isight Design Gateway from Eclipse for remote debugging, you need to define it as an external tool in Eclipse. This process involves specifying the executable file for launching the Design Gateway, creating an environment variable, and making the interface accessible from the Eclipse Run menu.

  1. Start Eclipse.
  2. From the Eclipse Run menu, select External Tools / External Tool Configurations.

    The External Tool Configurations dialog box appears.

  3. On the left side of the dialog box, double-click Program.

    A new, empty configuration is created, and the new configuration’s options appear on the right side of the dialog box.

  4. In the Name text box, type a name for the configuration. For example, Isight Gateway. This name will appear on the Eclipse Run menu.
  5. Specify the gateway executable file related to your Isight installation.
    1. Click Browse File System. The option is located adjacent to the Location text box.

      The Open dialog box appears.

    2. Navigate to the following directory:<Isight_install_directory>\<operating_system>\code\bin
    1. Click the gateway.exe file, and click Open.

      The path and file name you selected are added to the Location text box.

  6. On the right side of the External Tool Configurations dialog box, click the Environment tab.
  7. Create a new environment variable.
    1. Click New.

      The New Environment Variable dialog box appears.

    2. Type the following information in the specified text boxes:

      • Name: FIPER_JVMPARMS

      • Value: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket, server=y,suspend=n,address=8000

        When typing this value, verify that the only space that appears is between the -Xdebug and the -Xrunjdwp entries.

    3. Click OK.

      The new environment variables is added to the list of variables in the center of the dialog box.

  8. On the right side of the External Tool Configurations dialog box, click the Common tab.
