            Status: NEW

          Priority: P3

protected void performAction() {
....
                try {
                ILaunchConfigurationWorkingCopy wc = type.newInstance(null,
DebugPlugin.getDefault().getLaunchManager().generateUniqueLaunchConfigurationNameFrom(LaunchConfigurationsMessages.CreateLaunchConfigurationAction_New_configuration_2)); 
                ILaunchConfigurationTabGroup tabGroup =
LaunchConfigurationPresentationManager.getDefault().getTabGroup(wc.getType(),
getMode());
                // this only works because this action is only present when the
dialog is open
                ILaunchConfigurationDialog dialog =
LaunchConfigurationsDialog.getCurrentlyVisibleLaunchConfigurationDialog();
                tabGroup.createTabs(dialog, dialog.getMode());
                ILaunchConfigurationTab[] tabs = tabGroup.getTabs();
                for (int i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++) {
                        ILaunchConfigurationTab tab = tabs[i];
                        tab.setLaunchConfigurationDialog(dialog);
                }
                tabGroup.setDefaults(wc);
...
The last call sets ICDTLaunchConfigurationConstants.ATTR_PLATFORM to "*" .
Before that it's been not initialized yet. However, some tabs initialization
methods try to use this value which now is the name of the host OS (for
example, for me it is "win32"), which is usually wrong and leads to some
unexpected problems (see for examle CMainTabs.setDefault(...), invocation of
getContext).
