Hi there,

I'm trying to launch my own launch configuration with my own attributes. Everything works fine. But of course, when I set a Breakpoint the debugger can't find any source files. I always have to manually add them with the help of the "Edit source lookup path"-Dialog in Eclipse. But I would like to add some source lookups to my configuration programmatically.

I thought i have to add an Attribute to my workingCopy (ILaunchConfigurationWorkingCopy).
I use the IJavaLaunchConfigurationConstants interface to set all my attributes for my workingCopy. And there are some Constants regarding source path too. ATTR_SOURCE_PATH sounded promising. This attribute needs a List of runtime casspath entries as memento strings.

Ok. How to get them? Perhaps like this:

JavaRuntime.newProjectRuntimeClasspathEntry(javaProject).getMemento()

Looks good? In this way I add a few mementos to a list and set the ATTR_SOURCE_PATH Attribute

List<String> projectRuntimeClasspathEntryMementos = getProjectRuntimeClasspathEntryMementos(javaProjects);
workingCopy.setAttribute(IJavaLaunchConfigurationConstants.ATTR_SOURCE_PATH, projectRuntimeClasspathEntryMementos);

But when I launch this configuration, there is still only the default source path.

What am i doing wrong? Do I have to use a SourceContainer like this somewhere?

ProjectSourceContainer projectSourceContainer = new ProjectSourceContainer(javaProject.getProject(), true);

If so, where is the "workingCopy.addSourceContainer(...)"-Method Razz

I found some interesting sources but i couldn't figure it out.

Yesterday I found kind of a "solution" for my problem. It behaves like I want it to but it is still not quite right.

If I tell my working directory that it shouldn't use the default source path by inserting this

workingCopy.setAttribute(IJavaLaunchConfigurationConstants.ATTR_DEFAULT_SOURCE_PATH, false);

than Eclipse can find the sources. But in the SourceLookupDialog the projects i added can now be found under "Default". Normaly there would be the rt.jar and so one but they are gone now.

Well now I could add these jar files manually again like I did with my projects but I would like to not touch the Default "folder" and add my projects as new "folders" (by "folders" I mean containers of course).

Perhaps somebody has a nicer solution than me.

Greetings
Sebastian

Does anyone have a response for this? I'm still seeing the same behaviour - I'm *guessing* that ATTR_SOURCE_PATH is the right way to go, but the documentation is pretty scant and trial and error has got me nowhere.

Any help gratefully appreciated!
