Re: [platform-debug-dev] Launch Variables

I think there is an even simpler solution. Since variables are defined by an extension, or via the UI, we simply do not allow duplicate variables to be defined. That way there can be no collisions. We report any duplicates defined by extensions. The UI disallows duplicates to be defined.

When it comes time to expand the value of a variable, how do we tell what kind 
of variable it is?

${ANT_HOME} is a "simple variable" (key/value pair) that points to the 
location of my Ant install. ${resource_loc} is a "context variable" (dynamic, 
UI-based value) that points to the location of the selected resource. But 
what's to say that ${resource_loc} isn't actually a simple variable? Or what 
if I define a simple variable with the same key as a context variable?

It would seem that we need two different variable formats? Thoughts? 
Suggestions?
