[ptp-dev] AbstractPerformanceDatamanager class usage question

[Dave Wootton <dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to automatically set an environment
variable before running my target application, where the value of the environment
variable may be different between runs. I have a class which extends AbstractPerformanceDataManager
where I run a 'touch' command prior to running my application. I'm using
this class to set the environment variable value I need by obtaining an
ILaunchConfigurationWorkingCopy instance of the ILaunchConfiguration and
adding the new environment variable to the org.eclipse.debug.core.environmentVariables
attribute then saving the launch configuration.

This seems to work correctly for me,
but I want to be sure what I'm doing is legitimate since I'm making some
assumptions about order of processing for running my application.. If this
is legitimate, then I realize that I should also clean up the launch configuration
after my application runs. I can do that cleanup in my post-processing
step.

Thanks
Dave
