Hi,
At some point recently (Eclipse 3.3 ?) the behavior of the Run and Debug
buttons on the Toolbar has changed. Before, the default (if you pushed the
button without expanding the pull-down menu) was to run the last launch.
Now it appears to try to run the file you are editing.
This is not what I want (99% of the time it is not even meaningful to run
that file). Is there a preference to change it?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Ken

Yes, this is called contextual launching and is really quite good once you
get used to it. If you want, though you can revert it back to the old
behavior:
Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Launching, and change the Launch
Operation setting.

Thanks. I thought I looked there but I must have missed it.
I haven't got used to it for a month or so. I am typically editing a Java,
C, or Python source file. It makes no sense to launch them (except perhaps
ones with a main method). Usually the last run launch is what I want in
those cases anyway. Fortunately, it just does nothing most of the time.
