How to debug NetBeans itself

I am trying to find the root cause of a NetBeans bug (NETBEANS-2240) but I have no idea on how to do that. 

How do I open NetBeans from within NetBeans? 
I can see about 1000 individual nbprojects (for each module I guess) when I check out the source from Github but no "overal" project that would enable me to open "everything". 

What I would like to do is to run NetBeans in debug mode open my projects that cause the error and investigate the line where the NPE is thrown. 

I went through the Help and FAQ pages on http://netbeans.apache.org/help/index.html (and https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans-website-cleanup) but everything seems to be geared towards creating a plugin/module rather than debugging the complete IDE.

Thanks
Thomas

Silly question what module to start Netbeans itself?

1. Clone the repo.
2. Open a module that you're interested in debugging.
3. Place a breakpoint.
4. Right-click the module and choose Debug.

Is there any proper _written_ documenation rather than videos? 

Videos might be approriate for showing cute cats, but not for a serious software documentation 
(how do you copy and paste code, config file samples or commands from a video?)
