I would like to be able to export and distribute launch configurations
I've created to other developers in our group... how do I do this? Is it
stored in a file somewhere?

You can find the launch configurations you have created in:

<root> \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launch es

wherever your workspace is located. Note that the directory names metadata,
plugins, and launches all have "." as their leading character. (It is hard
to see that in the string above.)

Another solution is to set the launch configuration to be shared.
See the Common Tab for your launch configuration(s).
Then you can use your favorite SCM to share the configs

Thanks for the recommendation. I gave the person my whole .metadata
directory, so according to what you said, they should have been available.
But they didn't show up in the menu. I wonder if there is a registry
stored outside of the workspace that I'm somehow missing.

I don't know about sharing the entire .metadata directory. If it does not
match your person's workspace, I don't know what would happen. And I don't
think there is a registry involved here either. Eclipse pretty much keeps
all its runtime stuff in the .metadata.

I have had good experience copying a .launch file from one workspace to
another. When I just copy the .launch file, it shows up in the menu of
launch configurations. You have the same launch type defined on both sides,
I presume.
