Description Marc Khouzam CLA 2012-02-06 15:42:40 EST 
For the Automated remote launch, the Properties button next to the Connection in the Main tab only allows to change limited launch properties.

I've gotten a request to access the full RSE properties for the connection.

This would be more user-friendly, instead of having to open the Remote Systems view.

Marc, what do you mean by the full RSE properties?

The set of properties accessible through the Remote Systems view.
Changing the IP address for example.

Hi Marc,

I was about to enter a new bug about the same topic, there is no way to edit the connection without leaving the launch configuration.

My thinking was to add an "Edit..." button next to "New..." and "Properties". The "Edit..." will open the connection properties page in order to change the host name as this is the most common case. Why a new button? Because "Properties" is not necessarily related to the connection, it has some settings about the application to be downloaded to the target - like remote workspace location etc.

Please see the attachment above. What do you think?
