It would be nice if we could have a flexible way of organizing launch configurations in the launch configuration menu.  Having a single list only works when you have very few favourites (less than about 10).

My proposal is to allow the user to build up a structured favourites list where a launch configuration can belong to one or more groups.  Similar to the favourites list in web browsers.  Adding the concept of tags to launches and displaying those tags as folders might also be an option

It should be possible to add API to AbstractLaunchHistoryAction that won't break clients that already extend it by adding an API that returns the new structured favourites while leaving an API that returns a flat list (which will no longer be used by the fillMenu method)

I could probably make time to help implement this feature if needed.

Reproducible: Always

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
