/**
 * Describes and creates instances of a specific type of
 * launch configuration. Launch configuration types are
 * defined by extensions.
 * <p>
 * A launch configuration type extension is defined in <code>plugin.xml</code>.
 * Following is an example definition of a launch configuration
 * type extension.
 * <pre>
 * &lt;extension point="org.eclipse.debug.core.launchConfigurationTypes"&gt;
 *   &lt;launchConfigurationType
 *      id="com.example.ExampleIdentifier"
 *      delegate="com.example.ExampleLaunchConfigurationDelegate"
 *      modes="run, debug"
 *      name="Example Application"&gt;
 *      sourceLocatorId="com.example.SourceLocator"&gt;
 *      sourcePathComputerId="com.example.SourcePathComputer"&gt;
 *   &lt;/launchConfigurationType&gt;
 * &lt;/extension&gt;
 * </pre>
 * The attributes are specified as follows:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>id</code> specifies a unique identifier for this launch configuration
 *  type.</li>
 * <li><code>delegate</code> specifies the fully qualified name of the java class
 *   that implements <code>ILaunchConfigurationDelegate</code>. Launch configuration
 *   instances of this type will delegate to instances of this class
 *   to perform launching.</li>
 * <li><code>modes</code> specifies a comma separated list of the modes this
 *    type of launch configuration supports - <code>"run"</code> and/or <code>"debug"</code>.</li>
 * <li><code>name</code> specifies a human readable name for this type
 *    of launch configuration.</li>
 * <li><code>category</code> is an optional attribute that specifies a category
 * for this launch configuration type. Categories are client defined. This
 * attribute was added in the 2.1 release.</li>
 * <li><code>sourceLocatorId</code> an optional unique identifier of a sourceLocator extension that
 * is used to create the source locator for sessions launched using launch configurations
 * of this type. This attribute was added in the 3.0 release.</li>
 * <li><code>sourcePathComputerId</code> an optional unique identifier of a sourcePathComputer extension
 * that is used to compute a default source lookup path for launch configurations of this type.
 * This attribute was added in the 3.0 release.</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The <code>category</code> attribute has been added in release 2.1, such that other
 * tools may re-use the launch configuration framework for purposes other than
 * the standard running and debugging of programs under development. Such that
 * clients may access arbitrary attributes specified in launch configuration type
 * extension definitions, the method <code>getAttribute</code> has also been
 * added. Launch configurations that are to be recognized as standard run/debug
 * launch configurations should not specify the <code>category</code> attribute.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Clients that define a launch configuration delegate extension implement the
 * <code>ILaunchConfigurationDelegate</code> interface.
 * </p>
 * @see ILaunchConfiguration
 * @since 2.0
 * @noimplement This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
 * @noextend This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.
