Hi,
Eclipse 3.3.2, J2EE edition.
I want two behaviors for running things, and I can't figure out how to set
either of them up.
The thing I think should be simplest is to have a run configuration (from
the Run... dialog), and have either a key combination or a toolbar button
to run just that target. The key combination would be best.
The second thing is to have the "run" button on the toolbar (or the F11
key) run the thing I most recently ran. The prior version I had installed
had something similar to this, where the button ran the most recent thing
which was run. That was flawed by the fact that Eclipse kept restarting
the app server, so the most recent thing which had been started was almost
always Tomcat. If the button had run the most recent target I had
selected, it would have been great. Same with the F11 keyboard
combination.
The run button (and F11) now seems to be extremely context sensitive, to
the point where it's almost useless to me. My project has more than 2,000
files. Many of them have a runnable context, but I almost never want to
run the file being edited, and that's inevitably the thing Eclipse tries
to run. If it's a JUnit test then that's great, but if I am not running a
unit test, I almost always want to run "the application."
Another thing that would be handy is that, if I'm editing Abc.java, and
there exists an AbcTest.java, it would be handy to have a key combination
which automatically runs that unit test.
If anyone has a plugin to do this stuff, or an idea how to configure
Eclipse in this way, please respond. Thanks.

Ken,
I didn't care much for the new behavior either.
Window->Preferences->Run/Debug->Launching ->Launch Operation can be used
to get the old behavior of repeating whatever you did last... Maybe
you'll want to try Alt-Shift-X as well...
