I'd suggest you start tomcat with remote debugging enabled.  (Disclaimer: some of this is JDK version specific)

Step 1) Create a java project, import mondrian src (it doesn't have to compile)

Step 2) Add the following to CATALINA_OPTS
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n

Step 3) Setup a remote debug launch config

When you hit breakpoints (you have to set them in Eclipse) you should be able to step through the code in the Eclipse debugger.

Good Luck!
