Create a new workspace Create a new C++ project Build Click play on the launchbar. It doesn't do anything. Click play on the toolbar. It runs the executable and a launch configuration now exists. It would be good if the two were consistent since the launchbar play button is more prominent than the play button on the toolbar. As a comparison, the hammer icon on the launchbar behaves the same as the hammer on the toolbar in so far as they both build the project.
I think it'd be fine if the 'play' button at least looked disabled if the current combination of items did not have a launch configuration for it. At least then this would discourage the user from clicking on it.
A launch configuration should automatically be generated like it is in Eclipse for Java. The first thing a new user does is tries to run a new Hello World, gets this error, and never comes back. It's not even had a "Run as..." that works in this scenario since Kepler version of Eclipse - it's been getting worse instead of better.
