There is a special IDEA plugin for debugging ant script sources with breakpoints:

Or the same approach can be used for ant debugging in eclipse .

Ant is mainly used for building, not for Java applications.
But I'm sure you are using your application using Ant Java .

If so, then you can do this using remote debugging.

In fact, you can debug any Java application like this.
Applications running through Ant are still Java .
