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.

hi Tim Holloway ,

thanks for the reply , but how to connect Eclipse to JBoss as a remote debug session

[Peter Johnson]

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.
