Launching has changed, and we have a document describing these changes and the current implementation of Context Launching
For the 3.3M3 release we are working on moving away from strict mode-based launching to an extensible 'options-based' scheme. The following migration guide describes how you can migrate your launching contributions to use the new scheme.

Information about the changes to the launching framework, and the source code needed for the debug plugins can be found on the following bug report.

An example project which contributes some tabs to the Java Application tab group and some new modes and mode combinations can be found here.
Also in 3.3M3, the Step commands have been updated to better reflect the usage of asynchronous adapters and virtual tree viewer implementations. More specific information about these changes can be found in the platform debug build notes.

org.eclipse.debug.util is a small helper plugin we use to update our build notes files once we verify bugs. To use it, simply download the plugin below and enabled it in your workspace. Once that is done to actually 'use' it, place the cursor at the position in your build notes document and click Run->Verify Bug... (or use the keybinding Ctrl+Alt+V) and enter the number of the bug you verified. The tool will then insert the corresponding html into the build notes document.
