Relaunch on exit code

This feature is available in PDE debug & run. The PDE launch delegate can detect the exit code (23) and auto relaunch the debug session.

When I'm developing other java GUI project I constantly restart the application so I add a restart menu item for the similar logic. The start script of my application can play the role of launcher which detects the exit code and relaunch the application. I think it would be very convenient if JDT debug can do this too, which would be a general conditional relaunching on exit code.

Currently the LaunchListener is copied from PDE and modified a bit for this.

Please take a look at the patch and share your thoughts.

Fei Ding

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
