Interface ILaunchGroup

public interface ILaunchGroup
A launch group identifies a group of launch configurations by a launch mode and category. The launch configuration dialog can be opened on a launch group, and a launch history is maintained for each group. A launch group is defined in plug-in XML via the launchGroups extension point.

Following is an example of a launch group contribution: 

        <extension point="org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchGroups">
                <launchGroup
                          id="com.example.ExampleLaunchGroupId"
                          mode="run"
                          label="Run"
                          image="icons\run.png"
                </launchGroup>
        </extension>

The debug platform defines constants for the identifiers of the launch groups provided by the debug platform:

  • IDebugUIConstants.ID_DEBUG_LAUNCH_GROUP
  • IDebugUIConstants.ID_RUN_LAUNCH_GROUP
  • IDebugUIConstants.ID_PROFILE_LAUNCH_GROUP
