So a couple weeks ago my Eclipse IDE no longer allowed me to remotely debug my application saying that it was unable to install breakpoints because line numbers were not be
In order to re enable the message : Preferences => java => debug . it is at the bottom of the screen : "Warn when unable to install breakpoint du to missing line number attributes"
For the problem about installing breakpoints, try to add a -g to your javac command line in ant (debug attribute of you compilation task, http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/javac.html)
Eventually check if you have not mapped your project on a JRE instead of a JDK in eclipse.
