RE: [dsdp-dd-dev] New type of launch discussion

I like option 1 assuming it is "attach to an application". But the
problem is how to get the list of processes running on the remote
target.

Thanks, that is important to know.  So maybe keeping "local" and "attach
to local" 
separate is important.  DSF-GDB also has a separate "remote" launch.
And eventually, there will be "core".

In our meetings, with toyed with the following options:

1- Changing "attach to local" to simply "attach" and to let the user
specify the target, 
	which could be localhost.
2- Add an attach option to the "remote" launch (which seems to have been
your approach 
	as well for "local")
3- Add a 5th configuration type "attach to remote running application". 

Since your experience has proved that adding an attach option to a
launch didn't seem to please users, I guess it is better to keep the
concept of attaching separate, so we can ignore option 2/

My guess is that the "attach" launch is not the most commonly used
anyway, so maybe making it slightly more complex is ok.  So I vote for
option 1 (at least for now.)

How does that sound?

Marc
