Programmatically generating a launch configuration [message #330263]

Hi all,

Firstly, apologies if this is posted to the wrong newsgroup. Please
redirect me if this is the case.

My problem is that I would like to generate a launch configuration
programmatically from a plug-in. How can I do this?

I presume it is something to do with the Launch Manager - i.e.
org.eclipse.debug.core.DebugPlugin.getDefault().getLaunchMan ager() - but
I'm not sure how to instantiate a new Launch Configuration. Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Louis Rose.

Did you take a look at
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Launch-Framework/lau nch.html
?
Launch configs are stored as files in your workspace .metadata under
org.eclipse.debug.core. From the LaunchManager you can get
LaunchConfigurationTypes allow you get a LaunchConfigurationWorkingCopy
with newInstance() then operate on it and call doSave() to write the
file into the .metadata store. Then you will see it in the UI and you
can launch on it.
