The following describes how to remotely debug each of these phases.

Phase 1

This phase:

1. extracts Extracts the jar to a temporary directory
2. spawns Spawns a new process for Phase 2, referencing the temporary directory as the classpath; and
3. exitsExits

Its invoked by running:

    java -jar MyApp/Uninstaller/uninstaller.jar

...

    java -jar -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_shmem,address=jdbconn,server=y,suspend=y MyApp/Uninstaller/uninstaller.jar

Phase 2

This phase:

1. spawns Spawns a new process for Phase 3
2. waits Waits for it to complete
3. deletes Deletes the temporary directory containing the classes extracted in Phase 1

...

1. Place a breakpoint in  com.izforge.izpack.util.SelfModifier.main(String[] args)
2. define Define the self.mod.debugPort2 property, which specifies the debug port to listen on
3. Attach to the process in the debugger using socket transport, and the port above
