Hello all,

I am looking for a solution to influence the default naming of newly created "Run Configuration".

For example:

I have a project with multiple package , In each package I have class Main.java with main method.

When I generate a new "Run Configuration" I get names like:

index.php/fa/38452/0/

Obviously I rename the to something more descriptive like :

index.php/fa/38453/0/

I would like to have the name generated automatically.

Is there any settings that will do the trick ?
Is there any plugin out there that will do the trick ?

Thanks for any response.

I'm not aware of any way to change this. The code that generates the configuration name is hidden in JDT's code so I don't think that any plug-in could work around this.

You may want to create a ticket on Bugzilla to ask for a way to base the name of the launch configuration on the fully qualified name of the class.

On second thought, a plug-in could actually implement a workaround by providing its own launch configurations/shortcuts that rely on JDT under the hood. I've still never heard of a plug-in that actually does though.
