Description Pawel Piech

2009-03-30 11:51:16 EDT

In M6 I added support for multiple launchers, so that both DSF-GDB and CDI could share the same set of launch configurations.  However, currently the user has to explicitly select one of the launchers himself in order to proceed with launching.  This is confusing to users and can be considered a regression.

One way to solve this problem would be to have CDT set a preference setting to make CDI the default, but this would require defining a CDT "product" and would only be helpful for users that download the "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers" package.  So I'll investigate other ways of achieving this goal.

Partial fix.

This is a crude solution, but it could get us through 6.0.  We'd still need to do a similar hard-coding for the context launcher.

Updated patch.

This patch properly handles the different config. types and it adds the same workaround in the context launching.
