Moving to debug.

Your steps are not very clear.  You are programmatically modifying a launch configuration from a plug-in?  Did you check that no errors are logged since none pop up?

Hi,

Yes i am modifying programmatically.I used remane() of ILaunchConfigurationCopy
to rename name field of the debug configurations.after launching debug configurations for a project,If we want launch debug configurations to another project it is not launching no errors are logged.If we delete all the existing debug configurations then it is allowing.It is allowing only one project debug configuration.

What kind of launch configuration is this? Are you perhaps trying to rename the configuration to a name that already exists? Launch configurations use a flat namespace in Eclipse, so no two of them can share a name. 

To help with creating a unique name for a launch configuration we have an API method ILaunchManager#generateLaunchConfigurationName.

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.
