Will this support only be available in  2.1 or will it be migrated back to
2.0.2?

There are scenarios where we would like to take advantage of such
'transparent' launch configurations
for Run and Debug purposes as well...

Thanks,

As previously posted on the ant mailing list, the External Tools and Ant
components of the Eclipse SDK intend to re-use the launch configuration
framework. External tools and Ant scripts will be presented in a
specialized version of the launch configuration dialog (called the
"External Tools" dialog). The user will be able to create and configure
external tools in a similar way they create/edit launch configurations.

To support this type of extension of the launch configuration framework, a
"category" attribute has been added to launch configuration type
definitions. By default, existing launch cofiguration types have an
unspecified (null) category. External tool launch configurations will have
a "category" of "external tools". The Debug UI will only display launch
configurations (in the dialog, histories, etc.), that have an unspecified
category (to support backwards compatibility). An API has been added to
allow clients to open the launch configuration dialog with a special title,
message, image, and filter applied to the launch configuration tree. The
external tools framework will use this API to display its specialized
version of the dialog.

A first cut of this new API has been released to HEAD. The changes are
non-breaking - existing launch configurations will work as they did before.
