You can create new launch configurations by copying existing
launch configurations.
- In a workbench perspective that offers the launch/debug/run
action set (such as the Debug perspective), perform one of the following
tasks:
- Select Run > Debug Configurations from
the workbench menu bar to open the Debug launch
configurations dialog box.
- Click the down arrow next to the workbench toolbar Debug push
button and choose Debug Configurations from
the list. This will open the Debug launch
configurations dialog box.
- In the Debug launch configurations
dialog box, right-click the launch configuration that you want to
copy. You might need to expand the launch configuration type node
to find the launch configuration.
- Choose Duplicate from the pop-up
menu.
- The duplicate launch configuration is displayed below the
launch configuration that it was copied from. Its settings are the
same as the launch configuration that was copied. These are displayed
on the right-hand side of the Debug launch configurations
dialog box.
- Alter these settings as required for your new launch configuration.
Further information about these settings can be found in debugger
help task files which describe creating launch configurations.
- If all information mandatory to the launch configuration
has been provided, the Debug and Apply push
buttons will be enabled. Clicking Apply will
save the launch configuration, at which point you can choose to close
the dialog box without launching the debug session or you can click
Debug to launch a debug session using the
new launch configuration. If you click Debug,
any changes to the launch configuration will be saved and a debug
session will be launched.
After you have saved a debug
launch configuration, you can edit it. For further information about
editing debug launch configurations, see the related task.
Tip: If you have not yet saved launch configuration settings
and if you have made entries in the launch configuration settings
that you want to remove or change, clicking Revert will
remove all changes that you have made.
- If information mandatory to the launch configuration has
not been provided or if there are errors in the information that you
have provided, messages at the top of the dialog box will indicate
what is missing.
- When you are finished working in the dialog box, click
Close to exit it.
