Error in final launch sequence
If I had only found this 4 hours ago 
My problem came after upgrading to the current version. Flashing code would work just fine but debugging would fail.
My project lives outside the Eclipse workspace.
After a bit of experimenting, I think that using a local board file works fine as long as the project is inside the eclipse workspace.
It looks like you can have the board config file anywhere except in a project that is not in the workspace.
A strange bug. And incredibly frustrating. Someone owes me three hours sleep.
I may create a workspace folder that just has local board config files and only ever reference those.
BTW, if you use the “manual spec”, Eclipse just creates a hidden cgf file in the project folder. But that one works just fine!
Thank you Laurent for making this clear.
