      I haven't seen it documented anywhere...
      I use Gradle to build my sample Jenkins Plugin (thanks a lot for implementing it, by the way!).

      now I want to debug the plugin in Intellij IDEA. I start the server using "gradle server" command , which launches Jenkins with my plugin installed. now, how do I -
      1) connect to that process and make IDEA stop at breakpoints?
      2) when I recompile, I would want to see the new behavior right away without restarting the server, if possible

          Starting the "server" tasks in a debug configuration from IDEA does not work, breakpoints are not triggered. Probably a bug in IDEA.

          But starting the task from the command line with debug options and then attaching a remote debugger works.

          >set GRADLE_OPTS="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005"
>gradlew server
