Cannot start the remote debug on AEM 6.1 in Eclipse

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I have created new projects using the AEM Developer Tools for Eclipse. And followed the steps described in this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/CQ5HowToSetupRemoteDebuggingWithEclipse.html)  to setup the remote debug with Eclipse.

Every time I started the remote debug in Eclipse, I got the "Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.Connection refused: connect" error.

Here is the script I have used to start the AEM 6.1: start.bat -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n

And the screenshot for the config for remote debug.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Read this AEM Eclipse article - only thing in this article is you sync code between AEM and JCR via vault tool. It talks about how to setup debugging:
