Re. Testlet - never touched this (for the reason that it is so badly
documented).
My impression is that Testlet will die in favour of JUnit (another test
framework).
But aside from that - on the question of debugging, the most effect approach
I have
found is to use the logging facilities included in Avalon (using debug,
warn, error,
and info log messages).
Cheers, Steve.
