IntelliJ - Run External Tool Command in Debug mode

Question

I am new to using IntelliJ, so would appreciate some advise please.

I have set up an External Tool that invokes a script ( build-with-glassfish.bat ). This script performs a few tasks including starting a Payara Server. I can then execute the code that is built on the server (Java) via an Angular client.

Question In IntelliJ, can I start the External Tool that runs the script in DEBUG mode? I would like to add breakpoints and examine the java code.

More info The build-with-glassfish.bat contains the following line, that I am guessing needs to be in debug mode.

echo start up the server as it deploys during the build
call asadmin start-domain domain1

Thanks

This can be debugged by setting up a Remote.
