You can enable a basic development debug console enabling an additional line in the _actions.xml_. Your client should be build with FINAL_VERSION *off* in order for this to work. To determine what version your client is look in the upper right corner during loading. If you see an _FV_ then you are in FINAL_VERSIOL, otherwise you should see _DEV_ for development or debug.
