Tomcat runs when you run "mvn install" as part of the integration tests. The remote debugger is one that's built into your IDE.

If you're going to change anything, I'd suggest you do it on trunk and contribute patches to JIRA (http://issues.appfuse.org/browse/APF). More information on setting up your development environment can be found at: http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Developer+Guide This might be a bit outdated due to recent changes on trunk, so if you find issues, please send them to the dev list (d...@appfuse.dev.java.net).
