How do you set up remote debugging for Zimbra using IntelliJ IDEA?
First, download the Zimbra JAR files from the server (e.g., /opt/zimbra/common/jetty_home/lib/) and import them as a library in a new Java project. Add breakpoints in the .class files. Then create a Remote JVM Debug configuration using the same JDWP parameters as the server (e.g., -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000). Start the debug session; a successful connection will show 'Connected to the target VM' in the console.
