  4. Create a debug configuration under WebKit Protocol (refer to bottom picture)
  5. Create a JavaScript project in Eclipse
  6. Create a JavaScript source file in the project
  7. Open a Ubuntu terminal and run the JavaScript source file: node debug test1.js
  8. In Eclipse try debug with the custom debug configuration and the error happens.
  9. PS: my Ubuntu is 12.04 64bit; NodeJs remote debug port is default 5858
