Description Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-06-21 11:43:31 EDT 
We should consider adding an extension point so that a plugin could contribute 
a number of prefilled external tool configurations so the user does not need to 
create these manually.
Comment 1 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-06-21 11:44:37 EDT 
To be considered for post 2.0 (original suggestion from Kevin H)
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-06-21 12:55:17 EDT 
Could a product install do this by modifying some file internal to external 
tools?
Comment 3 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-06-21 13:30:15 EDT 
We store the tool configurations in an XML file. Someone could modify this file 
to add extra tools. However, we do not publish what the format of that file is.

Comment 7 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-15 12:02:09 EST 
Since we are now using launch configs, there should actually be debug platform 
support for defining a "pre-filled" launch configuration. Moving to debug as a 
feature request.
Comment 8 Darin Wright CLA 2002-11-18 10:20:59 EST 
Not committed for 2.1
Comment 9 Darin Wright CLA 2003-05-14 09:44:36 EDT 
Is there still an interest for this feature (CC list)?
Comment 10 Simon Arsenault CLA 2003-05-14 10:48:33 EDT 
Talk with Kevin H.
Comment 11 Darin Wright CLA 2003-05-14 10:50:20 EDT 
Kevin, is there still an interest for this feature?
Comment 12 John Dallaway CLA 2004-07-09 15:55:04 EDT 
Was this enhancement request ever implemented or was there insufficient interest?
Comment 13 Darin Wright CLA 2004-07-18 14:08:03 EDT 
Never implemented. Does not seem overly popular.
Comment 14 Darin Wright CLA 2005-07-06 12:11:30 EDT 
Closing. It feels like other tooling could accomplish this without an 
extension point. For example, a plug-in could create a launch config via API 
the first time it starts up, or a common launch config could be supplied via a 
shared file in a repository.

Please open a new bug with more explicit requirements if something else is 
required.
Comment 15 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:24:18 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
