By default, the run goal runs your application in a forked process. If you need to debug it, you should add the necessary JVM arguments to enable remote debugging. The following configuration suspend the process until a debugger has joined on port 5005:
<project>
...
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2.0.RELEASE</version>
<configuration>
<jvmArguments>
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005
</jvmArguments>
</configuration>
...
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
...
</build>
...
</project>These arguments can be specified on the command line as well, make sure to wrap that properly, that is:
mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005"
