[platform-debug-dev] Debug requesting PMC approval for context launch en

Debug is requesting PMC approval for
an enhancement to context launch:

        Bug
183509 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=183509)

Summary:
--------------
When the selected resource/active editor
is not launchable, the user should have the choice to launch the previous
launch or launch the project containing the selected resource. Currently,
they only have the option to launch the containing project when the selected
resource is not launchable.

The net effect ist that when the user
selects something that is launchable, it will be launched. When the user
selects something that is not launchable, the previous launch is re-used.
This makes contextual launch less of a departure from the previous Eclipse
release (which always launched last).

The first time this situation occurs,
the user will be prompted, which will set the corresponding launch preference
(so they are not prompted in the future). The option can still be changed
via the preference dialog.


Performance impact:
------------------------------
none
