1. Prerequisites

BugJail is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin

However, you can capture to BugJail from any IDE, application server, or command-line Java application (If you don't have IDEA, you can use the free edition as an empty "host" for BugJail).

Requirements:

• MacOS (Apple Silicon or X86), Windows, or Linux
• IntelliJ IDEA Version 2021.2 or newer (community or ultimate edition)
• JVM 8, 11, or 17

2. Download

BugJail-2024.1.0.zip

3. Install

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA
2. Open Settings or Preferences...
3. Select Plugins
4. Click the Cog symbol
5. Select Install Plugin from Disk...
6. Unsurprisingly, select the BugJail zip you downloaded

4. Capture

• After installation, all menus and toolbars have a new "Capture" item next to "Run" and "Debug".

• Or you can capture from a command-line application by adding these VM options:
  -javaagent:$HOME/.BugJail/agent.jar -noverify
  (on Windows, the $HOME won't work so please use the literal path to your home dir)

• Or you can capture from an application server by setting the above VM options as an environment variable. The name of the environment variable depends on the application server, but it is most commonly JAVA_OPTS.

• For further details, please see the Capturing User Manual.
