Remote debugging with SSH tunneling

Last week I was trying to debug a program running on my ec2 instance to which I was connected via proxy.

Creating a tunnel on my local to remote host:
ssh -f @ -L :127.0.0.1: -N

Connect to the tunnel on IDE:
connect to localhost

Run the jar file in debug mode on AWS ec2 or any remote server:
sudo java -jar -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address= you-jar-file.jar &>console.out &
