Debugging an extension project is most likely going to be something you will have to do to see what’s going on. This is easy with a Spring Boot App. Configure for example the Spring Boot Maven plugin as follows:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <jvmArguments>
                    -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005
                </jvmArguments>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Then you can attach remotely and debug from, for example, IntelliJ IDEA:

You can also configure debug on the command line (no maven plugin config needed):

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005" -Dlicense.skip=true
