Re: [platform-debug-dev] End-of-line conversion in launch configurations

[Darin Wright <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ken,

This is a known problem with launch configurations. To help deal with 
this, we have an extension point - 
"org.eclipse.debug.core.launchConfigurationComparators" - which allows you 
to define custom "Comparators" for specfic launch config attributes. We do 
this in JDT for various attributes that contain XML with potential 
whitespace differences that should be ignored.

For example, see the class RuntimeClasspathEntryListComparator, and its 
associated extension in org.eclipse.jdt.launching.

[platform-debug-dev] End-of-line conversion in launch configurations






Hi,
 
I noticed recently that launch configurations containing mult-line 
attributes on Windows have their CRLF line endings converted to LF endings 
when the configuration is written to XML for storage. The launch 
configuration dialog, however, doesn't perform the same conversion when it 
compares changes in the working copy to the stored copy, resulting in an 
Apply button that is always enabled when the configuration contains 
multi-line strings.
 
Is this the intended behaviour or should I file a bug?
 
I can fix the problem in my launch configuration tab by converting the 
CRLFs in the performApply method, but it seems rather hackish to me.
 
Regards,
Ken
