Thanks for that. There are some parts that I consider including in the final 
version. For IP reasons, I must ask you to attach the same patch to 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=243293. Sorry for that, I 
should have though of that before. But if I'm going to check in code based 
on your suggestions, I have to make sure that you submitted that code via 
Bugzilla.

I played around a bit with multi-platform launch configs. On my machine, 
this works without any problems. Opening the launch config and running it 
does not change the plug-in configuration.

Which version of Eclipse are you using?
