You need to connect Eclipse to JBoss as a remote debug session. You then set Breakpoints on your edited code in Eclipse.

Ant doesn't really have much to do with any of this, beyond the actual build process. I recommend using the IDEs forum for further information.

A lot the of modern-day software development platforms are designed to permit parcelling out work to those with the best aptitude for it. A lot of modern-day business is predicated on making one person do all the work, regardless of aptitude.

Look in the run.bat for JBoss AS - there is a comment on which line to uncomment to enable you to attach a remote debugger. Then read about remote debugging in the Eclipse help text.
