Restart Button [message #629684]

Recently i have upgraded my environment from Eclipse 3.5.2 to Eclipse 3.6.1 with latest CDT 7.0.1

One of the GUI changes i've noticed in Debug View window is the lack of "Restart" button.

Is there a way to bring this button back? Are there any UI alternatives for this button?

Thanks in advance,
Mark.

It was felt that the debug view toolbar was overcrowded, so some cleanup was done.

You can still access the Restart feature by right-clicking on an element of the debug view.

It took me a little while to get used to it, but I eventually did.

Thank you for pointing out the menu option!

Its real pity that restart button was removed.
Im developing debugger solution for embedded systems and was using this button to reset the system under debug.

Is it possible to add custom buttons to DebugView toolbar?
Is it possible to extend its UI with custom plugin?

Sure you can create you own plugin and use extension points to put the button back.

You can use the org.eclipse.ui.menus extension point and re-use the debug platform's command org.eclipse.debug.ui.commands.Restart

I think you can also add a binding key for the "restart run/debug feature", actually it's more easy and quick!

i think you can use "terminate and relaunch" button in debug window for this purpose.
can find that button from here as shown in picture.
