To debug Java Actions used in a Mendix Microflow you need to make some configuration changes to the way you start the Mendix runtime.

Add the following in your project settings, in server configuration add the following to Extra JVM parameters:

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005
