Debugging Support in Jinx

Debugging allows you to interrupt Excel while it’s running your code by setting breakpoints, stepping through the code and inspecting variables.

Most Java IDEs support remote debugging, which simply means attaching to an external process and debugging it in exacty the same way as if you’d launched the program from the IDE. In this case, Excel is the remote process we attach the debugger to.

Below are specific instructions for two popular IDEs. If you are using a different IDE and are unsure how to debug your code running in Excel then contact us and we will be able to help.
