Alternate Way to Start Debug Mode

[Liannus]

I have been trying to start AEM in debug mode so as to hook up eclipse as shown in this help page Debug a CQ5/AEM6 app using eclipse, however in the crx-quickstart folders there is no quickstart jar (such as "cq-author-4502.jar") or start script. I didn't install AEM using the quickstart jar instead just using an exe.

Is there another way to start the server in debug mode or hook eclipse up?

There must be a JAR somewhere in your install base. I have not seen an AEM file as an EXE.

All debug instructions are pretty much the same as this one: Debug a CQ5/AEM6 app using eclipse
