With Maven, you (might) be able to download the source attached to the library from the repository. In that case, you can set breakpoints within that source code. If you do download the source code, you don't have to worry about any project structure. You can just create a new project, and drag the source into it. You don't need to build it, just need to make the IDE aware of it. The real game is making sure the versions match, that can't take some digging to find out what version your server is using. It helps if you can build the server from source, but even that only goes so far. In your case, WIldfly doesn't build the Apache CXF stuff, it just imports it. But at least by looking at the server source, you can ideally ascertain the correct dependency that they're using. Regards, Will Hartung
