I would like to implement an Interrogative debugger in Eclipse Plugin where Launch configuration will start a Java Agent Instrumentation by injecting method to observe current active class, method, and variable.

I am able to have a simple ILaunchShortcut but do not know how to launch Java project in the launch().

Besides that, I would like to invoke Java Agent instrumentation which I believe should be inside launch() of ILaunchShortcut.

After launch, I would like to have these features
- user can right click in package explorer for java file(class), classname in editor, method name, and variable name, to generate a Why did/Why didn't question in a Sample View.
- user can see the change of Why did/Why didn't question in sample view after interacting in GUI/console with an input.
