What steps are needed to set up remote debugging of Zimbra using IntelliJ IDEA?

First, download the Zimbra JAR files from the server (e.g., /opt/zimbra/common/jetty_home/lib/) and import them into a new Java project as a library. Set breakpoints in the .class files. Create a Remote JVM Debug configuration matching the server's JDWP agent settings (e.g., transport=dt_socket, address=8000). Start the debugger in IDEA; upon successful connection, the console shows 'Connected to the target VM'.
