Default IntelliJ plugin debugger runs community version of IDE which doesn't have database support (which I want to debug). Adding debug configuration to idea.exe.vmoptions and connecting as remote debugger doesn't work. How to setup run configuration to launch IU version instead of IC? (Plugin project is Gradle project)

I've been looking at developing an Intellij platform plugin and saw the docs mentioned auto reloading of plugins by adding the system property idea.auto.reload.plugins to the runIde Gradle task
How can I edit the run configuration to set this property?
I have an existing project in maven which is working fine in other remote env which i
dont have any access, I dont know what is the issue in my env, the same project is working
in other remote env.
My Env Details are:-
Java1.7
Tomcat7.x
Eclipse Juno,Build id: 20120614-1722
Plugin Details: M2E - Maven Integration for Eclipse
The below error is coming while importing the project and after selecting pom.xml.
No marketplace entries found to handle maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2:compile in Eclipse
Go to Window > Preferences > Maven Installations and then deactivate the Embedded and add your own installation.
I would check:
That Eclipse Maven build settings are using a JDK and not a JRE
Check the actual compiler settings in the POM. Maybe the source and target should be explicitly set to 1.7.
It's also worth checking if this runs properly with mvn from the command line to rule out whether it is truly a Maven or IDE issue.
we recently migrated to Maven Build manager & git hub repository for our Java web-app. Also i switched to eclipse as eclipse has good set of plugins.
As a new bie, i am simply running mvn clean package from terminal at the code root directory. And then moving the compiled code i.e., /target/SNAPSHOT/* to tomcat/webapps/ROOT location.
And then starting Tomcat7 server. The process is time taking especially when i do code changes in Java & configuration .xml files.
I want to do it completely in IDE environment as i did earlier in Netbeans, update code -> build and run in debug mode, -> do code changes and then commit.
Heard of egit & m2e in eclipse for maven & github integration, but not sure how to use it.
Please walk me through the steps required in doing so. I am completely new to eclipse.

You might want to consider using maven-jetty-plugin http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Maven+Jetty+Plugin for running the webapp. You will not need to copy over stuff to tomcat. After configuring this plugin, you can simply run your application by doing mvn jetty:run
I generally do not like running webapps inside Eclipse. It's a personal prefrence, but it is always nice to have an IDE neutral way of building and running your applications. If you have m2e things should work simply fine. I have seen maven-jetty-plugin having hot pluggability where if you changed your web.xml, jetty would reload your application.
We use Git for version control and Maven for dependency management and build automation. Once your project has successfully imported into Eclipse and recognized as a valid java web project, you don't need either Git or Maven in order to build/run it inside IDE. Just creat a server using you existing tomcat installation, add the project to server, then select Run as > Run on Server.

My problem is with respect to debugging web application on an already installed glassfish using eclipse.
If I create a web project using eclipse then eclipse will let be deploy and debug application on an already installed glassfish application server. However, if I have created a web project using maven archetype, eclipse does not let me debug the application.
I can use maven's jetty or tomcat plugin and debug the application but I need to debug application on an already installed glassfish. Basically I have followings
1) Web application created using maven archetype
2) Eclipse IDE
3) Glassfish which is already installed outside of Eclipse IDE
I came across maven's glassfish plugin but as far as I understood it is not for debugging the application.
Please let me know your suggestions.
Thanks

This is not true. Whether you use the Maven Eclipse Plugin (which provides WTP support) or m2eclipse (with the optional Maven Integration for WTP installed from the m2eclipse Extras), you can deploy a project created outside Eclipse to an existing "Server" (that you can start in Debug mode), as long as you imported it appropriately (Import... > Existing Project into Workspace if you use the former, Import... > Maven Projects if you use the later).
Basically I have followings 1) Web application created using maven archetype 2) Eclipse IDE 3) Glassfish which is already installed outside of Eclipse IDE
I use the same setup with several projects with no problem (and can debug them on my locally installed GlassFish server).

There is no need for extra Maven plugins, you can just rely on your IDE if you follow the right steps.
I don't know about eclipse, but IntelliJ IDEA has a remote debug feature. You start your server with something like
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5055
and then the IDE will connect to that port and you'll have a regular debug.
I'm sure eclipse has this feature.
EDIT: This article shows how to use this feature with eclipse.
I´m going to write it most for me in order to keep trace of my solution:
If you are using the maven.failsafe plugin just force the execution of glassfish internally the current JVM started by maven avoiding the fork with the parameter
-DforkCount=0
in such way you are able to debug both test and server from the usual way, ie. running a debug task from eclipse and setting break points both in test and in server side.
Extra parameter information could be found here, including setting different debug port:
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/examples/debugging.html
I've written a plugin for Maven2 in Eclipse.
How can I run the plugin in debug mode in Eclipse?
If possible, I'd like to avoid remote debugging an external process and I'd also like to avoid installing plugins into Eclipse.
Make sure that "workspace resolution" is enabled for the project you're running the plugin from, then right click on this project and select Debug As > Maven build...
It is possible to debug integration/functional tests. See the following resources:
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-developers/plugin-testing.html
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Review+of+Plugin+Testing+Strategies
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Maven+Plugin+Harness
Just in case (and for other readers), the wiki page Dealing with Eclipse-based IDE explains how to remote debug an external Maven process (not sure why you want to avoid this).
