Re: [platform-debug-dev] Launch Configuration working sets

Darin,

I have no problem with using working sets/"customize"/perspective filtering
approach as long as
this could be done programmatically.
I really think that in some enterprise-level products we get too many
launch configuration types
that are irrelevant to many customers. I also hate to see deep trees like
that, but I think that some
of our customers need to get a 'customized' solution 'out of the box' or
else they get quite confused :-)

Thanks,
Vadim

Personally, I think that groups just add another level of complexity that
is not needed - the tree just gets deeper. Using the working
sets/"customize"/perspective filtering approach, the tree remains at two
levels, and there is no additional extension point infrastructure required.

Depends on what the groupings represent. You can either group the config
types by vendor or by functionality. If the groups represent vendors, you
just use names that are vendor specific ("JDT Java", "WSAD JSP", etc.). If
the groups are functional, the problem is harder... but you could just
allow
people to specify their functional grouping and then merge any groups that
overlap.
