Implementing a connector that extends LocalRepositoryConnector and adds a new task type for "Launch Tasks" might work. That would allow you to extend the planning page or provide a custom task editor for associating a launch configuration with the task.
A more lightweight solution could only contribute an additional item to the New menu in the task list context menu and simply create a local task with a custom editor page. Take a look at subclasses of AbstractTaskEditorPageFactory to see how other plug-ins do that.
You could try using due dates for setting the execution time but you would still have to implement your own scheduler for triggering running of launch configurations.

Hi
I am a developer of "Launch Scheduler" it's a small open source project
for an eclipse plugin to schedule runners I use it to schedule my
nightly testing of large Junit suites.
I'm now wondering if the scheduling plugin could be integrate into Mylyn
as a sub plugin so that you could create task that would launches a
eclipse runners at a given time and when the executing is complete the
run task status could be set as complete.
I'm not sure take the next step but what I would like to use from Mylyn
is the task interface but do it in a way so it make senses so that you
could a task and a task that will be executed automatically.
So what do you think does this sound like a good idea?
