Press Ctrl + F5 to allow the application to continue running, and you will see a
familiar page opened in the default web browser. Click the refresh link, and again,
the application will stop at the breakpoint and wait for your further instructions. To
complete the debugging session, press Shift+F5.
Working with NetBeans is quite easy. Creating a working configuration with Eclipse
involves more steps, but, this process is pretty straight-forward too.

Installing Eclipse
Eclipse by itself is a universal platform, starting from which you can create an IDE
for just any imaginable purpose using existing building blocks (plug-ins). Sounds
exciting, but in fact, we do not want to start building an IDE from scratch, as
mutual dependencies between different plug-ins can make this endeavor time and
effort consuming.
Instead, I recommend you to download a ready to use package created by Web
Tools Platform project, let's call it Eclipse WTP. This package can be downloaded
from http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/ (look for something
like "WTP all-in-one package"). You can download either the latest version 2 or the
previous version 1.
