Description John Arthorne CLA 2006-08-16 13:47:26 EDT
We should simplify the launch experience for novice users with single click context sensitive launching, simple launch configurations managed via resource properties, and user configurable toolbar buttons to invoke favorite launch configurations. For advanced users, we should allow plug-ins to contribute additional pages to launch configurations so that plug-in specific information (such as profiling and code coverage settings) can be associated with each configuration. [Debug]

Marking as 3.3

This plan item has changed slightly (we do not intend to add support for toolbar buttons to invoke favorite launch configurations). We've also added mention of mixed mode launching and mutliple toolsets contributing launchers for the same config type & mode (allowing the user to select the one they want to use). The new wording:

We should simplify the launch experience for novice users with single click context sensitive launching and launch configurations managed via resource properties. For advanced scenarios, we should allow plug-ins to contribute additional pages to launch configurations so that plug-in specific information (such as profiling and code coverage settings) can be associated with each configuration, support mixed mode launching, and allow more than one plug-in to contribute launchers for the same configuration type and mode (allowing the user to select a preferred launcher).
