Description Rob Stryker CLA 2015-05-06 23:26:15 EDT 
There do exist some launch configurations which by necessity need to be public, but which adopters may feel do not belong in the launchbar specifically. 

Our usecase is that some of our launch configurations are tied to wtp servertools, and our launch configurations already include their own information about what server they'll be launched on.  For that reason, it doesn't make sense for these launch configs to appear in the middle selector. If the server object (and its launch config) already had in it stored the details of the remote machine, it would either appear as:

Run  -   Tomcat 5.5   -   On  -  Localhost    

(which would be wrong, since the launch config already contains information about how to launch it on a remote box),   or... 

Run   -  Tomcat 5.5   - On  -  Tomcat 5.5     (which doesn't make any sense at all). 

Either way, it'd be very useful to be able to exclude specific launch config types from being present in the launchbar.
