debugging environment tips?
I am currently running my unit tests via the run-single-test target. I am
having trouble tracking down a problem and thought that perhaps I could use
remote debugging the way I would for debugging serverside Java code. Is this
possible?

I rarely feel the need to go til the point. Though you can do it easily
either by forking the unit tests and set the appropriates options on the vm
either by not forking them and use ANT_OPTS
What's wrong in executing the testcase directly from your debugger ?

the process I use in this case is rather than resort to the debugger, I
expand the test that fails with more assertions, more interim steps and the
like. The advantage of this tactic is that you are expanding the test suite
forever, rather than debugging for once.
But if I do need to debug, I set ANT_OPTS up or run ant from the IDE (very,
very rare this, I think I've done it twice)
