[#1]

Trying to run start.bat to set up debugger in Eclipse, but get the Error:Could not find or load main class Website\author\crx-quickstart\bin\ when I try to run in. Any ideas?

double check these points as well

Step 1: Add the Remote Debugging JVM Parameter

1. To use remote debugging, you must start AEM with this JVM parameter:
   -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n

You can add the parameter by doing any of the following:

• Add it to your crx-quickstart/bin/start script CQ_JVM_OPTS environment variable (so your server always starts in debug mode).
• Include it as a parameter when starting AEM with java -jar directly. For example, java -Xmx512m -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n -jar cq-author-4502.jar

Notes

• If necessary, you can change the port defined under "...,address=8000,..." from 8000 to something that works better in your environment.
• If you notice that it isn't working, avoid forking the java process by specifying the -nofork command line option.
• The start script is located under crx-quickstart/bin

Hi, I've done the steps above already, this is when I ran into the error. This is what got it resolved for me https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39710510/aem6-starting-from-console-with-debug-nofork-options. Executed the following from the command line "java.exe -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=9669,suspend=n -XX:+PrintGC -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -jar aem-quickstart-6.2.1.jar" and it worked. Thank you.
