Re: [platform-debug-dev] Launch Configurations

I noticed this was posted to both the JDT and debug mailing lists.  The 
proposal is very Java specific.  There may be projects in the future that 
have executable elements that should have launch configurations as well. 
Furthermore command syntax for actually doing the launches can change and 
the launches may be done locally or remotely.  Is there some way to 
accomodate these ideas in the scope of this proposal?  One could even 
imagine a project with multiple natures with launch configurations being 
built for different kinds of executable elements -- some Java, some not. 
This changes how the wizards that create configs could be constructed.

The shared config support is interesting.  There may be a notion of a 
project having to generate stuff to support a team that is separate from 
the launch idea.  It would be good if there were some standard query of a 
project or its natures that would influence the default for sharing these 
configurations.  Maybe this could be made a preference?  Alternatively, if 
this were a property of the project perhaps the new launch configuration 
wizard could be primed for this project with the appropriate defaults.
