In previous versions of seam this used to work like charm, but now I can't get the tests to execute from within eclipse, they run fine from within the ant target.

My environment is as follows:
Eclipse 3.5.2
TestNG Plugin

I have followed the documentation and added the libraries and the bootstrap folder to the test case configuration, I have added as well the -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true argument to the VM. When I run the test suite configuration I get the following exception:

[Parser] Running:

Does anyone has an idea on what's causing this?
