Can I do remote debug of two different projects at the same time using intellij

Question

I have two java (maven) projects, A (with module a1, a2, a3) and B (with module b1,b2,b3,b4). Both these two projects are packaged as jar file and deployed in jboss server. There are some API invocation between these two projects (using REST and EJB invocation). I am able to remote debugging these projects individually (say I am debugging project A first then after A is completely over, I can start debugging the other) using intellij.

Now, my question is – Can I do remote debugging of two different java projects at the same time using intellij?

Please note that I have imported the projects into intellij as maven projects.

Answer 1

I know this post is old, but I have tried the same thing in Intellij 14 and was able to just open the parent directory (both projects in the same directory) and start my remote debugger there. It then lets me debug both projects.
