I'm developing a web UI using GWT. While working only with the widgets I could debug from Eclipse using the Firefox extension, but now that I'm integrating the UI with other OSGi bundles I cannot use this solution.

For deploying the GWT application I create the .war and convert it to an OSGi bundle using BND. Then I launch the OSGi container with all the bundles using Pax Runner and Pax Web and the application works correctly, but when something fails in the generated javascript code I don't have any decent output error or debugging facility.

Is there any way to launch the GWT application in "debug mode" from OSGi?

Any other idea that could help in this scenario?

On a Cisco device, I know that enabling debugging can incur a performance hit since debugging has such a high priority on the CPU.
