[cdt-dev] Eclipse CDT launch configuration and Launch Target setting

[Kondal Kolipaka <kondal.kolipaka@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Could someone help me with managing the Eclipse CDT launch configuration and Launch target setting for our custom project?

Here is our Core plugin.xml

<?eclipse version="3.4"?>

<plugin>

   <extension

         point="org.eclipse.debug.core.launchConfigurationTypes">

      <launchConfigurationType

            delegate="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.internal.SerialFlashLaunchConfigDelegate"

            id="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.launchConfigurationType"

            modes="run"

            name="ESP-IDF Application"

            public="true">

      </launchConfigurationType>

   </extension>

   <extension

         point="org.eclipse.launchbar.core.launchTargetTypes">

      <launchTargetType

            id="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.core.serialFlashTarget"

            provider="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.SerialFlashLaunchTargetProvider">

      </launchTargetType>

   </extension>

   <extension

         point="org.eclipse.launchbar.core.launchBarContributions">

      <configProvider

            class="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.internal.SerialFlashLaunchConfigProvider"

            descriptorType="org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.coreBuildDescriptorType"

            priority="10">

      </configProvider>

   </extension>

</plugin>

Here is our UI plugin.xml

<plugin>

   <extension

         point="org.eclipse.launchbar.ui.launchTargetTypeUI">

      <launchTargetTypeUI

            id="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.core.serialFlashTarget"

            labelProvider="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.ui.internal.SerialFlashLaunchTargetLabelProvider">

      </launchTargetTypeUI>

      <wizard2

            class="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.ui.internal.NewSerialFlashTargetWizard"

            icon="icons/esp_target.png"

            id="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.core.serialFlashTarget"

            name="ESP Target">

      </wizard2>

   </extension>

   <extension

         point="org.eclipse.launchbar.ui.launchBarUIContributions">

      <buildTabGroup

            launchConfigType="com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.launchConfigurationType"

            launchDescriptorType="org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.coreBuildDescriptorType"

            tabGroup="org.eclipse.cdt.launch.internal.corebuild.CoreBuildTabGroup">

      </buildTabGroup>

   </extension>

   </extension>

</plugin>

Using the above, If I create an ESP-IDF Applicationlaunch configuration how/where can I set the launch target(ESP-IDF Target, not Local Target in my case) for that? I couldn't find any extension point to link the launch configuration and target with it.

What is happening now is, If I create a new launch configuration for the ESP-IDF Application, the Launch Target combo from the launch bar is disappearing, and internally it's configuring the target to the default Local target though one of the ESP-IDF Target is selected in the UI. What I would like to do is, instead of configuration the Local Target for a new launch configuration I would like to set the ESP-IDF Target if it's already available so that I won't lose my target toolchain information while building/indexing/debugging.

Best Regards,

Kondal
