To set up for debug, you need to 1) set the jboss.aop.path system property to point to the jboss-aop.xml file 2) set -javaagent:%OUTPUT_LIB_FOLDER%\jboss-aop-jdk50.jar While the requirement for 1) could be optimized out by the mechanism you describe, it means rewriting all the tests since things like field, constructor and array interception need weaving of the testcase class, which in turn depends on the aop.xml file being deployed before the testcase class is loaded.
