This extension point provides a configurable mechanism for launching applications. Each launch configuration type has a name, supports one or more modes (run and/or debug), and specifies a delegate responsible for the implementation of launching an application. As of 3.2 the types can also define a migration delegate that can be used to set resource mappings between projects and the launch configurations that launch them. a fully qualified identifier of the target extension point an optional identifier of the extension instance an optional name of the extension instance specifies a unique identifier for this launch configuration type. 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. Launch delegates can also be contributed for a launch configuration type via the <code>launchDelegates</code> extension. specifies a comma-separated list of the modes this type of lauch configuration supports - "run" and/or "debug". Launch modes can also be contributed for a launch configuration type via the <code>launchDelegates</code> extension. specifies a human-readable name for this type of launch configuration. specifies whether this launch configuration type is accessible by users. Defaults to <code>true</code> if not specified. an optional attribute that specifies this launch configuration type's category. The default value is unspecified (<code>null</code>). Categories are client defined. This attribute was added in the 2.1 release. The unique identifier of a sourcePathComputer extension that is used to compute a default source lookup path for launch configurations of this type. This atttribute was added in the 3.0 release. With new API changes for 3.3M3 the sourcePathComputer id should be contributed via the <code>launchDelegates</code> extension point The unique identifier of a sourceLocator extension that is used to create the source locator for sessions launched using launch configurations of this type. This atttribute was added in the 3.0 release. With new API changes for 3.3M3 the sourceLocatorId id should be contributed via the <code>launchDelegates</code> extension point Optional delegate used to migrate launch configurations of this type to be compatible with current tooling, since 3.2 The id of the icon for this launch configuraiton type. since 3.3 <p> <strong>EXPERIMENTAL</strong>. This element has been added as part of a work in progress. There is no guarantee that this API will remain unchanged during the 3.3 release cycle. Please do not use this API without consulting with the Platform/Debug team. </p> A human readable name for the associated launch delegate. This attribute was added in the 3.3. release. <p> An example of a 'human readable name' would be something like (in the case of the default java application delegate): Eclipse JDT Java Tooling </p> <p> <strong>EXPERIMENTAL</strong>. This attribute has been added as part of a work in progress. There is no guarantee that this API will remain unchanged during the 3.3 release cycle. Please do not use this API without consulting with the Platform/Debug team. </p> This attribute provides a description of the associated launch delegate i.e. what it does and what tooling it is assciated with. This attribute was added in the 3.3 release. EXPERIMENTAL. This element is no longer used. Instead, use the <code>org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts</code> extension point. specifies a file extension that this launch configuration type can be used for. specifies whether this launch configuration type should be the default launch configuration type for the specified file extension. Defaults to <code>false</code> if not specified. <p> The following is an example of a launch configuration type extension point: </p> <p> <pre> <extension point="org.eclipse.debug.core.launchConfigurationTypes"> <launchConfigurationType id="com.example.ExampleIdentifier" delegate="com.example.ExampleLaunchConfigurationDelegate" modes="run,debug" name="Example Application" migrationDelegate="com.example.migrationDelegate" sourceLocatorId="com.example.sourceLookupDirector" sourcePathComputerId="com.example.sourcePathComputer" delegateName="Example Application Launch Tooling" delegateDescription="This example tooling will run or debug example code."> </launchConfigurationType> </extension> </pre> </p> <p> In the example above, the specified type of launch configuration supports both run and debug modes. The specified type also has an associated migration delegate, a source locator id, a source path computer, and launch delegate name and description. </p> <p> Value of the attribute <b>delegate</b> must be a fully qualified name of a Java class that implements the interface <b>org.eclipse.debug.core.model.ILaunchConfigurationDelegate</b>. The value of the attribute <b>migrationDelegate</b> must be a fully qualified name of a Java class that implements <b>org.eclipse.debug.core.ILaunchConfigurationMigrationDelegate</b>. </p> Copyright (c) 2000, 2005 IBM Corporation and others.<br> All rights reserved.
