Hi, 
I started working on implementing this change, and it worked fine in
general.

I had two issues remaining that I would like your help with:

1- I wanted to add a preference to enable/disable timeout and set
The timer, instead of hardcoding this info in the code.
I added the preferences to
org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.internal.ui.preferences.GdbDebugPreferencePage
And want to use them in GDBControl. which is in org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb
The code that is used to perform such operation is as follows:
timeout = Platform.getPreferencesService().getInt(GdbPlugin.PLUGIN_ID, 
IGdbDebugPreferenceConstants.PREF_TIMEOUT, 30, null);

This uses the core plugin ID while the preference page stores
preferences
in the UI plugin preference store.

I see this code used in many places, e.g.:
org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.service.GDBProcesses.eventDispatched(IExitedDMEv
ent)

When I added ".ui" to GdbPlugin.PLUGIN_ID it worked in my case, but I
don't think
this is a correct approach, and I don't understand how it works in other
places in CDT.
Any clues?

2- I initially added the code in GDBControl as suggested, but found out
that 
GDBControl_7_0 is the one I should use for most cases.
Is it correct to add the command listener in GDBControl_7_0?

Thanks
