how can I debug Sakai?

[许恒]

    When I modify the code, I must do follow:
1. shut down the tomcat
2. mvn -o install
3.mvn sakai:deploy
4. restart tomcat

It's too elapsed time, how can I debug faster?

You have 2 options to possibly speed this up:
1) Only redeploy the webapp you are working with - Sakai/tomcat can
redeploy a single webapp/tool/project as long as it contains no
component/shared code. If you are redeploying something with a webapp
only (like login) you can redeploy without restarting tomcat. If you
are redeploying something with a service (like site) you have to
restart tomcat. You can also only redeploy part of a project with
maven 2 by just rebuilding the part you changed. If the changed part
is a webapp then you can redeploy without a sakai restart.

2) Only use a minimal sakai distribution so startup takes less time -
If you use the cafe distribution or framework build or some other
distribution of Sakai that only includes a minimal set of projects
then it takes less time to restart. You can get the various cafe
(sakai core services + portal) distributions here:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/cafe/

The simplest way is to strip unused tools out of your development
environment.  In the past, this was a bit tricky.  Fortunately, we have
a build now that creates a minimal Sakai environment called cafe.  See:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/cafe/tags/2-5-0/

Aaron and others have put together some great documentation on how to
get this environment set up correctly at:

http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/BOOT/Sakai+development+getting+started

I recommend you look through this carefully.
