[midPoint] IDE Setup guide for debugging

[Pálos Gustáv]

Hi,

I'm using junit tests for debugging (and also for creating connector), see
for example this:
https://github.com/Evolveum/connector-liferay/blob/master/src/test/java/com/evolveum/polygon/connector/liferay/TestClient.java
So, if you create concrete test, you can run only this test and debug it
"without" midPoint and quickly.
If the connector is doing, what you need to do in this "level", it is a
small probability to have problem with the connector when you put it to
midPoint.

Best regards,

Gustav
