attribute, and then sorted alphabetically within groups based on the label
attribute. When unspecified, a shortcut appears in the last group. This attribute was added in the 3.0.1 release.<!ELEMENT perspective EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST perspective
id IDREF #REQUIRED>
The perspective
element has been deprecated in the 3.1 release. The top level Run/Debug/Profile cascade menus now support contextual (selection sensitive) launching, and clients should provide a contextualLaunch
element instead.
<!ELEMENT contextualLaunch (contextLabel* , enablement?)>
Holds all descriptions for adding shortcuts to the selection sensitive Run/Debug/Profile cascade menus. Only objects that provide an org.eclipse.debug.ui.actions.ILaunchable
adapter are considered for the cascade menus. The org.eclipse.debug.ui.actions.ILaunchable
interface is simply used to tag objects that support contextual launching.
<!ELEMENT contextLabel EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST contextLabel
mode IDREF #REQUIRED
label CDATA #REQUIRED>
Specify the label for a contextual launch mode.
<!ELEMENT configurationType EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST configurationType
id IDREF #IMPLIED>
This element allows more that one associated launch configuration type to be specified for this launch shortcut. This element was added in the 3.3 release.
<!ELEMENT description EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST description
mode CDATA #REQUIRED
description CDATA #REQUIRED>
Provides a mode specific description for this launch shortcut. This element was added in the 3.3. release.
<!ELEMENT enablement (not , and , or , instanceof , test , systemTest , equals , count , with , resolve , adapt , iterate , reference)*>
A generic root element. The element can be used inside an extension point to define its enablement expression. The children of an enablement expression are combined using the "and" operator.
<!ELEMENT not (not | and | or | instanceof | test | systemTest | equals | count | with | resolve | adapt | iterate | reference)>
This element represents a NOT operation on the result of evaluating its sub-element expression.
<!ELEMENT and (not , and , or , instanceof , test , systemTest , equals , count , with , resolve , adapt , iterate , reference)*>
This element represents an AND operation on the result of evaluating all its sub-elements expressions.
<!ELEMENT or (not , and , or , instanceof , test , systemTest , equals , count , with , resolve , adapt , iterate , reference)*>
This element represent an OR operation on the result of evaluating all its sub-element expressions.
<!ELEMENT instanceof EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST instanceof
value CDATA #REQUIRED>
This element is used to perform an instanceof check of the object in focus. The expression returns EvaluationResult.TRUE if the object's type is a sub type of the type specified by the attribute value. Otherwise EvaluationResult.FALSE is returned.
<!ELEMENT test EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST test
property CDATA #REQUIRED
args CDATA #IMPLIED
value CDATA #IMPLIED
forcePluginActivation (true | false) >
This element is used to evaluate the property state of the object in focus. The set of testable properties can be extended using the org.eclipse.core.expressions.propertyTesters extension point. The test expression returns EvaluationResult.NOT_LOADED if the property tester doing the actual testing isn't loaded yet and the attribute forcePluginActivation is set to false. If forcePluginActivation is set to true and the evaluation context used to evaluate this expression support plug-in activation then evaluating the property will result in activating the plug-in defining the tester.
<!ELEMENT systemTest EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST systemTest
property CDATA #REQUIRED
value CDATA #REQUIRED>
Tests a system property by calling the System.getProperty method and compares the result with the value specified through the value attribute.
<!ELEMENT equals EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST equals
value CDATA #REQUIRED>
This element is used to perform an equals check of the object in focus. The expression returns EvaluationResult.TRUE if the object is equal to the value provided by the attribute value. Otherwise EvaluationResult.FALSE is returned.
<!ELEMENT count EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST count
value CDATA #REQUIRED>
This element is used to test the number of elements in a collection.
<!ELEMENT with (not , and , or , instanceof , test , systemTest , equals , count , with , resolve , adapt , iterate , reference)*>
<!ATTLIST with
variable CDATA #REQUIRED>
This element changes the object to be inspected for all its child element to the object referenced by the given variable. If the variable can not be resolved then the expression will throw an ExpressionException when evaluating it. The children of a with expression are combined using the "and" operator.
<!ELEMENT resolve (not , and , or , instanceof , test , systemTest , equals , count , with , resolve , adapt , iterate , reference)*>
<!ATTLIST resolve
variable CDATA #REQUIRED
args CDATA #IMPLIED>
This element changes the object to be inspected for all its child element to the object referenced by the given variable. If the variable can not be resolved then the expression will throw an ExpressionException when evaluating it. The children of a resolve expression are combined using the "and" operator.
<!ELEMENT adapt (not , and , or , instanceof , test , systemTest , equals , count , with , resolve , adapt , iterate , reference)*>
<!ATTLIST adapt
type CDATA #REQUIRED>
This element is used to adapt the object in focus to the type specified by the attribute type. The expression returns EvaluationResult.NOT_LOADED if either the adapter or the type referenced isn't loaded yet. It throws an ExpressionException during evaluation if the type name doesn't exist at all. The children of an adapt expression are combined using the "and" operator.
<!ELEMENT iterate (not , and , or , instanceof , test , systemTest , equals , count , with , resolve , adapt , iterate , reference)*>
<!ATTLIST iterate
operator (or|and)
ifEmpty (true | false) >
This element is used to iterate over a variable that is of type java.util.Collection, or a variable that adapts to org.eclipse.core.expressions.IIterable. If the object in focus is not one of the above then a CoreException with an ExpressionStatus will be thrown while evaluating the expression. The child expressions of an iterate expression are combined using the "and" operator.
<!ELEMENT reference EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST reference
definitionId IDREF #REQUIRED>
This element is used to reference an expression from the org.eclipse.core.expressions.definitions extension point. The expression definition will be evaluated within the current expression element using the current evaluation context.
<extension point="org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts"> <shortcut label="Java Application" icon="$nl$/icons/full/etool16/java_app.png" helpContextId="org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.shortcut_local_java_application" modes="run, debug" class="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.JavaApplicationLaunchShortcut" description="Launch a local Java application" id="org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.localJavaShortcut"> <description description="Runs a local Java application" mode="run"> </description> <description description="Debugs a local Java application" mode="debug"> </description> <contextualLaunch> <enablement> <with variable="selection"> <count value="1"/> <iterate> <or> <test property="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.hasMain"/> <and> <test property="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.isContainer"/> <test property="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.hasProjectNature" args="org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature"/> </and> </or> </iterate> </with> </enablement> </contextualLaunch> <configurationType id="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.localJavaApplication"> </configurationType> </shortcut> </extension>
In the above example, a launch shortcut will be shown in the run and debug cascade menus with the label
"Java Application". Furthermore, the shortcut will only appear if the selected item contains a main method or is a Java project, and has an org.eclipse.debug.ui.actions.ILaunchable
adapter.
For more information on property testers see org.eclipse.core.expressions.PropertyTester
Value of the attribute class must be a fully qualified name of a Java class that implements the
interface org.eclipse.debug.ui.ILaunchShortcut.
New in 3.4, clients can implement org.eclipse.debug.ui.ILaunchShortcut2
to participate in context sensitive launching of resource and non-resource based artifacts.
Since 3.1, the debug platform registers a command handler for each launch shortcut and its applicable modes to allow clients to define key-bindings for a launch shortcut. The command id for a handler is generated as the launch shortcut id attribute, followed by a dot and the applicable launch mode. For example, the command id for the above launch shortcut example would be com.example.ExampleLaunchShortcutId.debug
for launching in debug mode. A command and key binding could be defined as follows, to bind "ALT-SHIFT-D, E
" to the launch shortcut.
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.commands"> <command name="Debug Example Launch" description="Debug Example Launch" categoryId="org.eclipse.debug.ui.category.run" id="com.example.ExampleLaunchShortcutId.debug"> </command> <keyBinding keySequence="M3+M2+D E" contextId="org.eclipse.ui.globalScope" commandId="com.example.ExampleLaunchShortcutId.debug" keyConfigurationId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration"> </keyBinding> </extension>
Since 3.3, launch shortcuts can now indicate what kind of launch configuration(s) they will create using the configurationType element. In the event that a given launch shortcut can create more than one type of launch configuration, more than one type can be specified using this element.
Example:
<extension point="org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts"> <shortcut class="MyShortcut" description="Launches a simple program" id="myShortcut" label="My Shortcut" modes="run"> <configurationType id="mylaunchtypes"> </configurationType> </shortcut> </extension>
Since 3.3, launch shortcuts can provdie a human readable description. This is used to aid novice users during the context launching process when they are presented with a listing of launch shortcuts to choose from.
Descriptions can be provided in one of two ways:
<shortcut class="MyShortcut" description="Launches a simple program" id="myShortcut" label="My Shortcut" modes="run, debug"> </shortcut> </extension>Example of a description for the run mode only:
<extension point="org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts"> <shortcut class="MyShortcut" id="myShortcut" label="My Shortcut" modes="run, debug"> <description description="Runs a simple program" mode="run"> </description> </shortcut> </extension>
