Need some help on debugging this project

[Thevakumar-Luheerathan]

I'm trying to implement a similar plugin for the Ballerina language(https://ballerina.io/). So, I built this plugin and deployed it. To study the internal details of the implementation. I want to debug this plugin. Is there any way to debug this plugin?

If you want to debug in a live Nexus intance or container, just enable JDWP and connect to the configured port, e.g.

INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:5005"

Thanks @stklcode , I'm not sure this is the right place to ask for help. But, It may be helpful to understand this repo more clearly. I went through a few implementations (nexus-public/plugins/nexus-repository-maven at main · sonatype/nexus-public · GitHub, GitHub - sonatype-nexus-community/nexus-repository-composer: Composer support for the Nexus Repository Manager (work in progress!)). I understand that we need to implement Recipe classes for each type (hosted, proxy, group). In each of the Recipes, we need to attach a set of facets and a set of handlers through ViewFacet. However, I still couldn’t get the complete picture. I have a set of questions to clarify:

1. Do we have a detailed guide on developing a new format, both backend and frontend?
2. Which classes/interfaces (Facets, Handlers) should be implemented to run a basic prototype format?
3. A Recipe is called when a repository is created and it attaches all the facets. Similarly, when is a Facet class or handler class called?
4. Which classes/interfaces (Facets, Handlers) should be implemented to ensure security?
5. I see a set of implementations related to the frontend here (nexus-repository-composer/nexus-repository-composer/src/main/resources/static/rapture at master · sonatype-nexus-community/nexus-repository-composer · GitHub). How does it work?
6. Is there a specific folder structure to follow to organize the class/interface files?
