title: Debug Ant task from eclipse
body: <p>I am developing a custom ant task with java in the eclipse ide.</p>
  
  <p>is it somehow possible to debug it? that is put a breakpoint on the java line and when ant is executed, it stops there and i can step through the code?</p>
  
  <p>edit: since this question has been closed as duplicate, i want to elaborate why it is quite different.</p>
  
  <p>i am looking to debug the java code that makes up an ant task and not the just the steps of an ant build. the answers already helped me partially, but i still need to figure out why my eclipse doesnt have Debug Remote Java Application.</p>
