Thanks Matt. I think if i can attach remotely and step through the code that will satisfy my needs. Let me give it a try.
I also found how to run mvnDebug and attach to that from intellij. Just need to find a maven goal that runs nifi but i havent seen one yet.

Sorry I misread the part where you wanted to run NiFi inside IntelliJ, I was talking about running it externally (from the command-line, e.g.) and connecting the IntelliJ debugger. I haven't run NiFi itself using IntelliJ, maybe someone else can chime in for that.
