Any documents for how to build the shib idp from the source code and how to run and debug the idp?

[Paul Hethmon]

I have found this very difficult to do. The few times I've tried it, I ended up getting frustrated and giving it up.

What you need to do though is not look at it as how to debug Shibboleth, but how do I debug an web application with the tools I have. At the end of the day, Shibboleth is just another web application. So if you're using Eclipse and its embedded Tomcat, then that's what you have to set up.

What I meant is to be able to step into the code, see the call stack, not only looking at logs. I know logs is one way, but if I could really debug the code it would be much more helpful and efficient. Can you tell me how do you usually debug the code?
