That's what the Debug Remote option is for.  First, you generate 
and compile your grammar externally, using the -debug option to 
ANTLR to make it add debugging support.  Then, you run your parser 
outside of ANTLRWorks (it will pause and wait for a debugging 
connection), then you pick Debug Remote in ANTLRWorks to connect 
to it, and debug as normal.

It's a bit more of a hassle than debugging Java code, but that's 
because ANTLRWorks doesn't know how to compile any other 
languages, so it makes sense.
