    I've pulled down the souce and followed the instructions to compile it but I can't figure out how to debug it.
    Where do I start?

    Well the project is built using maven. You are best to build it with maven.

    Basic steps for debugging would be

    -Enable debug in pom.xml for building app. Build and deploy it to tomcat.
    -Start tomcat with debugging enabled.
    -In eclipse attach to the running tomcat process
    -Stick a breakpoint on the line u want to debug and launch your app to trigger the breakpoint.
