What steps are needed to set up remote debugging of a Zimbra server using IntelliJ IDEA?
First, obtain the Zimbra JAR files from /opt/zimbra/common/jetty_home/lib/. Create a new Java project in IDEA, import the JARs as a library, add breakpoints to the .class files. Then, configure a Remote JVM Debug run configuration with the same JDWP parameters as the server (e.g., -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000). Run the debug configuration; successful connection shows 'Connected to the target VM'.
