Configure Tomcat to support remote debugging

In order to debug and set breakpoints in eclipse with Tomcat, we need to first enable remote debugging in Tomcat. The easiest way is to run 

catalina jpda start

to start Tomcat instead of 

startup

in command line. It will start Tomcat so that a remote debugger can be connected to port 8000.

Debug Tomcat using Eclipse

Go to "Run->Debug Configurations...". Click on "Remote Java Applications", then click "New". Type in the title. Note that port 8000 from the Tomcat instructions. Save and run.
