How do I debug NetBeans?

1. Read How to attach NetBeans debugger to a running application.
2. Assure that parameter -Dbuild.compiler.debug=true is passed to ant when building NetBeans or module that is to be debugged (this will pass -g to javac).
3. Pass the debugging options prepended with '-J' to 'netbeans' program. Like:
   netbeans -J-Xdebug -J-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8888
4. Start another instance of NetBeans, which will be used as a debugger.
5. Attach to the first instance of NetBeans as described at Attaching to the application from NetBeans.
