    In step 2 you wrote: “C:\tomcat\bin>catalina.bat jpdat start”

    “jpdat” should be “jpda”

    Right click on any of the java file in your project.
    Go to “Debug As” option, then go to “Debug Configuration”.
    You’ll get a debug configuration window. You will see “Remote Java Application” option. Right click on this and select “New”.
    You’ll get connection property window. Provide the Host address and port address. You are done now. Click on Debug.
    Make sure that tomcat is running in debug mode.
