[platform-debug-dev] Perspective switching when using private launch con

[desarmo@xxxxxxxxxx]

One of our scenarios is the following:  we have a daemon listening for
debug engine connections. When a connection is received, we create a
private launch configuration for it and launch it.  We would then expect to
switch to the debug view (we have the preference checked).
launchAdded(ILaunch) is called, but since the configuration is private, it
does not attempt to open the perspective.  (Note that even if I remove the
private attribute, it still will not switch because the perspective ID is
not set - since we did not use the dialog, the "Common" attributes were not
set.)

My understanding of private was that it was not relaunchable, so it
wouldn't be shown in the dialog or the launch history which is what I am
looking for.  Why does "private" also affect the perspective switching and
can it be changed?

Thanks.
