As far as debugging the java is concerned, I don't ever start Solr in the IDE, just attach as a remote session from your IDE. This page has instructions for IntelliJ, Eclipse and Netbeans although this last is sparse: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute. I've just updated the IntelliJ page with an example of setting up a remote session via the start scripts.
Since I don't do much with the UI, I'll defer to Upayavira on that stuff....
