Description Jörg Hohwiller

Hi there,
When I run a class first time (e.g. as Java Application), I get a fancy dialog
([Run] Create, manage, and run launch configurations). Here I can configure
my application and run it afterwards. All fine so far.

Now the problem is that I cannot access this dialog again anymore to update my changes.
Maybe I am stupid and did not find the proper way, then please handle this as
a request make the UI easier to understand (I also was confused that when I
select a runnable java class and hit the "Run" Button, I start the last recent process from the history instead of the selected class).

To solve my problem I searched the complete menu. The only way I found is to purge my eclipse workspace folder, which does not seem to be the proper way.

Thank you...

Regards
  Jörg Hohwiller

Thanks for the feedback.
Do you have any suggestions on how to make the "UI easier to understand"?

To realize the debug or run launch configuration dialog you can:
From the Run menu, select either Run... or Debug...
From the Debug dropdown in the toolbar, select Debug...
From the Run dropdown in the toolbar, select Run...

This is a request for selection sensitive launching - a long standing 
issue/problem.
