What application do you need to debug, for example, portal bean portlet, jsr porlet or secondary pag? You can set up Eclipse as a dev environment with Tomcat. Once configured, you can test jsp directly in Eclipse. Does it answer your question?

If you do decide to use Eclipse, there is an Eclipse Plug-in for OpenText Portal that you might find useful. It is available for download from the Extension Library section under Portal Develper Network on Knowledge Center.

Here's what's included in the Vignette Portlet Development Plug-in for Ecplise.

A sample Java standard (JSR-168) portlet, which serves as a useful introduction to portlet development. The sample is also a template that experienced portlet developers can use as a starting point for new portlet projects.
Built-in tools for configuring portlet WAR files for use on VAP and for creating portlet archives.
Ant tasks and ant build scripts for packaging portlets to run on Vignette Application Portal, so that the portlet build process can be automated.
Documentation explaining how to configure and use the plug-in.

It appears to still work with the latest versions of Portal and Eclipse. That said, it could stand to be updated. For example, the sample JSR-168 portlet (template) could be updated to JSR-286.
