There is an existing enhancement request for this feature - see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39900. There has been
interest in such a feature for a while. I think there are issues that need
to be worked out - but something simple might satisfy a lot of people.

Issues:

* Should there be a top level launch object? (probably not).
* Are launches consecutive, in parallel, how long do they wait inbetween,
or what triggers the next launch in the sequence?
* Should terminated launches be removed as others start (the existing
global preference)? or should all launches appear so the user knows they
have occurred?
* What should the "workflow" launch type be called? what sort of icon
should it have... etc.

I would suggest to attach your example, patch to the existing bug report,
and carry out the discussion there with other interested parties.
