All unit tests (at least for Falcon) should be zero-configuration. You open=
 up a file like MXMLArrayTagTests.java. You double-click the name of an ind=
ividual test you want to debug, such as the first one, MXMLArrayTag_empty()=
, to select it. Then you right-click on it and choose Debug As > JUnit Test=
 from the context menu. It should just work. The default debug configuratio=
n that gets created for this test needs to be sufficient without any additi=
onal Program Arguments or VM Arguments.

The copy.sdk target is still in there if you need it.

But first, wow do you use the unit tests from Eclipse?  I've never tried it=
, I always use the command line.  Do you set up a run config of some sort? =
 If you set a FLEX_HOME in the config's environment does that work?

Once I understand how you use Eclipse I will try to get it to work.
