Launch Configuration [message #227138]

Hi

I want to make a shared java launch configuration dependant on the project
it is shared/saved within, like in:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<launchConfiguration type="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.localJavaApplication">
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.MAIN_TYPE"
value="net.gosvig.foo.Foo"/>
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.PROJECT_ATTR"
value="${project_name}"/>
<booleanAttribute key="org.eclipse.debug.core.appendEnvironmentVariables"
value="true"/>
</launchConfiguration>

This does not work. Eclipse seems to require that the value of the
PROJECT_ATTR is explicitly defined as the name of a project, not a
variable.

Can anyone enlighten me on how I can make this work. I need a launch
configuration to be the same in all the branches of a given SCM module.

Thanks,
Carsten

Can you explain why you are trying to write a launch config by hand
instead of using the GUI to create it?

Ok, I didn't write it by hand, I did use the GUI to create it, but I just
put it in the article for reference.
I did write ${project_name} in the project reference in the GUI, but it
complained with an unknown project name.

I see.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Eclipse does not currently support a
variable as the project name. I suggest you submit an enhancement
request in the Eclipse bugzilla: http://bugs.exclipse.org

Hope this helps,
Eric
