I don't go to such great lengths when I actually need to step into Maven (and this is rarely necessary, especially when debugging plugins). I typically add the -Xdebug, etc flags to the maven startup, listening on a port and connect to it as a remote host. I make sure I'm using the sources that match the JAR installed. If you are debugging plugins, until someone writes something to step through Jelly you'll have to be content with <echo> or <log:info> :) Cheers, Brett
