You can test in advance the image which will be generated based on the content of the open Image Description. Besides normal emulation, the image can also be launched in debug mode so as to examine closely from a debugger the behavior of the framework and of the bundles.
To be able to test an image, make sure you have properly configured the environment as described in "Prerequisites".
To run your image for tests:
Make sure the Image Description file is in the Eclipse workspace and open it.
Go to the Testing part of the file and use one of the following commands:
Run image - The image will be started in plain mode without additional information sent from the JVM.
Debug image - The image will be started in debug mode as a server and the activities of its components can be viewed from a debugger through the Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP). For example, directly from Eclipse you can use a debug launch configuration in socket attach mode at port 8000.
Profile image - The image will be started in profiling mode. This will allow sending information about resource consumption of the JVM to Eclipse. This option is available only if the mBProfiler is installed.
You will be able to run an image only if its target platform matches the one that is hosting Eclipse.
