Re: [cdt-dev] common launch configurations

Before a comprehensive solution is developed, the problem can be partially alleviated by creating capabilities for CDT GNU Toolchain Debug Support and GDB DSF Debugger Integration. Even when both are installed, users should still be able to disable one or the other.

Hi All,
I've run into a new problem trying to create common launch configurations for CDT.  In short, I have the common launch configurations ready to be committed, but they present something of a new workflow challenge for users.  If a user installs both of the following optional features:
1) CDT GNU Toolchain Debug Support
2) GDB DSF Debugger Integration
he will be presented with the a launch configuration that requires him to choose a launcher (see attached screen caps). 

This problem could be avoided by creating a CDT product which could for the Eclipse C/C++ bundle, (instead of the standard Eclipse platform product used now).  I'm not really sure what would be other benefits or disadvantages of doing this, but it seems like a big change to satisfy this one problem. 

I'm looking for guidance on how big an issue this is for everyone and whether to commit the common launch configurations patch.  I also wonder what people think of defining a CDT product?
