Debugging with Tomcat and Intellij Community Edition

I started Tomcat as instructed here: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Developing using this command

catalina jpda start

I set up Intellij as depicted below

enter image description here

It connects to the debugger successfully

but when I click next to every single line I get a red x as shown below. I know for a fact the line contains executable code. Either way every line says the same thing.

enter image description here

What could I be doing wrong or differently?

If you use Gradle, you can try my script: https://github.com/Adrninistrator/IDEA-IC-Tomcat .This script will build files for web application, create a Tomcat instance, start Tomcat and load the web application. I wrote how to debug Tomcat with IDEA Community Edition in the README.md.

You must make sure you include debugging symbols in your compiled code.

This happens sometimes when the changes made require a server restart. It is possible that the server was not able to pick up the new changes without restarting & earlier the line did not have any executable code. Hope this helps!
