As I dig deeper, I'm seeing a lot of architectural issues with the GdbLaunchDelegate. There are a lot of if statements with control couplings making it very difficult to change.
I think I'll start by pealing out the remote launch code into it's own delegate and see if that's better.

JTAG debugger.
It's probably to short to do ant major restructuring here, but I'd like to keep in mind the longer term goal of introducing ILaunchTarget to all of these and what that would mean about what's partitioned between the target and the launch config.
I think, for now, I'll just focus on my original goal with the remote launch that everyone gets in dsf.gdb.
But certainly would like to hear from stake holders.

As I mentioned earlier, I am looking at Launch Bar enabling gdb remote launches. The idea is to move the connection information to a ILaunchTarget allowing you to flip between them as you debug on different boards, as an example. I was using this to connect
to a gdb stub on an embedded core.
However, I just tripped over something. If you have the launch.remote plugin loaded up, it "hijacks" the C/C++ Remote Application launch to do something that is quite different. It uses org.eclipse.remote to startup the gdbserver and launch the executable
remotely.
Not sure what to do with it. Half of me wants to combine them, half wants to separate them into different launch configuration types since they do seem different.
Thoughts?
Doug.
