I'm working on a project where an invocation of a java file is returning a NullPointerException, but I'm not getting any clues as to why, so I'd like to run it through jdb. According to to this page, I should be able to simply replace the call to java with jdb, but when I do, I'm getting the error:
/auto/tools/java/jdk-14.0.1/bin/jdb --add-reads stringtemplate=foostring -p ./tools/foo:./tools/bar -m foo/com.bar.foo.FOO -tp ./bar/ -p -o bin/foo -i foo.in
invalid option: --add-reads
Is there a trick I'm missing to allow me to pass all these options to jdb?
Java commands (java, javac, jdb) do not use the GNU double-dash convention. Use a single dash.
Or if that's an option for the program itself, it should probably come after the class name.
