Allow debug in wiki mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there a way to debug fitnesse tests in wiki mode ?

I'm pair-fitnessing with a business analyst, so we need to see the wiki page, 
and i would be glad to debug with my EDI instead of sysout.

It may be possible to do this directly from within FitNesse. Add the following 
to your Test / Suite setup:

!define COMMAND_PATTERN {java -Xdebug 
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=<debug_port> -cp %p %m}

It may be possible to have the plugin configure this as a convenience, but in 
the meanwhile, please let me know if this works for you :-)

There is a better way to do this, provided out of the box in FItNesse:

http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.UserGuide.DebugingFixtureCode

In essence, modify the REMOTE_DEBUG_COMMAND if necessary, then start the test 
debug run by adding ?responder=test&remote_debug=true to the url for the test.

I use this a lot, works like a charm.
