Hi steffen,

Thanks for your reply. But LaunchConfiguration package contains tabs for
Java and applet launch configurations. I want to know about external
program launch configuration tabs. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Hello !

You can use the 'Process process = Runtime.getRuntime()......' mechanism
to run external program...
