Existing behavior:
The sourceLocatorID or sourcePathComputerID of a launch configurations are found in the following way ...
(1) If they are defined in launch configuration itself use them.
(2) If not found in (1), look for them in launchConfigurationType extension point and use them if they are found there.
(3) If not found in (2), look for them in launchDelegate extension point of preferred launch delegates of this launch configuration and use the first one found.

Problems with this behavior:
(1) When the default sourceLocatorId and sourcePathComputerId are defined in the launch configuration type extension, it's not feasible to use different sourceLocaIds for different preferred delegates of that launch configuration, as the default one always takes higher precedence over the one defined in the preferred launch delegates.
(2) When the default sourceLocatorId and sourcePathComputerId are defined in the launch configuration type extension, the only way to use a different sourceLocatorId or sourcePathComputerId as saving them into the every launch configuration even though the same are added to the preferred launch delegate.

To solve these problem the better way of handling them is:
(1) If they are defined in launch configuration itself use them.
(2) If not found in (1), look for them in launchDelegate extension point of preferred launch delegate and use them if they are found there.
(3) If not found in (2), look for them in launchConfigurationType extension point and use them if they are found there.

Reproducible: Always
