Re: [dsdp-dd-dev] RE: [cdt-dev] Sharing launch UI

The different launch implementations can contribute their own tabs, and there can be tabs which are shared.

Good find!
Do you know if we can tweak the UI a bit or it must be completely identical?

Forwarding to CDT
I discovered yesterday that platform has a mechanism for different debuggers to share the same launch configuration UI in a clean way.  This mechanism may what we need to put some sanity into managing the launch UI between CDT, DSF, and various proprietary debuggers.

Cheers,

Yes - this allows different tooling to be provided for the same feature. 
For example, two different Java profilers that can launch Java Application 
launch configurations. Not only can they launch/share the configuration, 
they can contribute extra tabs to the configuration. The user can decide 
which tool to use for a given config type/launch mode in user preferences 
(or they will be prompted to choose one at launch time).

If the configurations contain the same information (i.e. enough common 
info that either tool could launch them) then the above feature could be 
used. The user would just have to choose a "preferred launcher" in the 
preferences.
