Description Erkki Lindpere CLA 2009-06-09 17:48:10 EDT 
I very often want to quickly specify Java Application launcher arguments for a particular run. This is currently not very easy to do: you have to Select Run -> Run Configurations ... , select the right launcher, select the Arguments tab, enter your args. And repeat the same process to revert back to the normal arguments.

What if in the Run menu (that opens from the Run/Debug/... icons in toolbar) each launch configuration that supports arguments had a submenu with few items:
1) an item that opens a dialog for specifying the arguments (no other launch config info would be present) and lets you launch it immediately.
2) separator
3) items showing the history of launch arguments, immediately letting you pick from most recently used arguments
