Question

I have created a launch group configuration for launching a project in my current workspace.
Can i some how save the configuration along with the project so that it can be imported into another workspace ?
If no how can i create a launch-group configuration using a custom eclipse plugin ?

Answer 1

Export

File -> Export... -> Run/Debug -> "Launch Configurations"

Then select the configurations you need to export.

Import

File -> Import... -> Run/Debug -> "Launch Configurations"

Then select the configurations into "From Directory".

Example images are available here along with a sample .launch file.

Answer 2

I simply export all my "run/debug configurations" from the original project by:

copying the content of folder:

$My-Workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches

into a folder in the destination project (folder location or name doesn't matter, just as long as it is in the imported project)

and when I open eclipse to my workspace and the project - it will show up automatically in "run/debug configurations" dialog (eclipse scan the projects for .launch files)

also after copying a .launch file into my project, i right click the root folder and choose refresh, wait for a minute and the configurations appear in the "run/debug configurations"
