[jdt-debug-dev] Sharing Launch Configs: revoked

[Darin_Wright@xxxxxxx]

The debug team is proposing to remove the ability to share lanuch configs in the workspace as first class resources. The reason for this is that launch configs contain much information which is generally not portable from user to user or from workstation to workstation. For example, classpaths, bootpaths, JRE's etc., do not share well, as they are machine specific paths. Instead, we intend to add a facility for exporting and importing launch configurations.

We plan to move ahead with this proposal unless there are any wild objections. For milestone 5, we will remove the ability to share a config (API change, but not breaking), and for milestone 6 we will have the import/export support in place.
