You right click on "compiler.tests" folder which is a project and  
select run as junit test. This will automatically create a debug  
configuration running all tests in the compiler.tests project.


Gordon's right though, when unit testing in Eclipse with the compiler  
we should just be able to right click on a method even and just run  
that method as a junit test. It works very well and speeds up testing  
I have been doing this for years.

So there has to be some way to setup Elcipse without having to put  
compiler args in the debug configurations popup.
