Using the Eclipse Debugger with Appium

I have been tasked with adding test cases to a suite of automated tests for mobile devices using

  • Java
  • appium
  • selenium
  • eclipse

The code base seems pretty clean and I am getting my hands around the general structure but I would love to use the eclipse debugger to “step through” the code.

I put some debug statement in the code to verify I am hitting the break points and am stumped.

Are there issues running the debugger in eclipse with appium?
Is it not possible to run “automation” code with the debugger in eclipse? (in any IDE?)
Are there “special” configuration or setup steps I need to do to run the debugger in eclipse with appium?

Thanks
