The best solution in my opinion is add a plugin in the pom xml  and you don t need to do anything else all the time     lt build gt           lt plugins gt               lt plugin gt                   lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt                   lt artifactId gt spring-boot-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt                   lt configuration gt                       lt jvmArguments gt                          -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp transport dt socket server y suspend n address 9898                      lt  jvmArguments gt                   lt  configuration gt                   lt executions gt                       lt execution gt                           lt goals gt                               lt goal gt repackage lt  goal gt                           lt  goals gt                       lt  execution gt                   lt  executions gt               lt  plugin gt

Easier solution   Instead of typing mvn spring-boot run   simply type mvnDebug spring-boot run  You will still need to attach the debugger in Eclipse by making a new Debug Configuration for a  Remote Java Application  on the relevant port

There s section 19 2 in Spring Boot Reference that tells you about starting your application with remote debugging support enabled      java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp server y transport dt socket address 8000 suspend n      -jar target myproject-0 0 1-SNAPSHOT jar   After you start your application just add that Remote Java Application configuration in Run Debug configurations  select the port address you defined when starting your app  and then you are free to debug
