Duet debugging

I thought I read a reference somewhere in the Cafe Duet documentation on setting up remote debugging between Eclipse and the Netlinx master, but now I can't find it. Is this a real thing that works, or should I stick to System.out.println() style debugging?

There is a way to debug duet (breakpoints) using version 3 firmware, it is integrated into Cafe Duet. I have been told by a good source "Mitch" that debugging does not work in version 4 firmware. I used log(DEBUG,"Some Debug Message") exclusively.
I did finally find the reference to remote debugging (hint: search for "remote debug" in the Cafe Duet help), but wasn't able to get it to work with the version 4 firmware. It almost makes me want to dust off my old NI-3000 test controller. I've heard hints that we might get a new version of Cafe Duet someday, but not to hold my breath on it being any time soon.
With that said, I did finally finish my first Duet real module (for an nLight nIO X lighting interface). Wow does it make a lot of things so much simpler, at least once you get past the relatively light documentation.
its just not there in NI masters with 4.x due to memory limitations
(and I couldn't get it to work anyway, so assuming true)
but NX masters are long dream come true
PS - 7 years for post #1, you have much more self control than I do... :-)
