| <h3>Launch shortcuts</h3> |
| <p>Once a launch configuration has been defined using the dialog, it can be |
| shown directly in the appropriate menu, rather than having to open the launch configuration |
| dialog again. When a launch configuration is shown directly in a menu, we refer to it as a |
| <b>launch shortcut</b>. The <a href="../reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_debug_ui_launchShortcuts.html"><b>org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts</b></a> |
| extension point is used to register these shortcuts. In the extension |
| definition, you can specify in which modes the shortcuts are shown. For each shortcut, you must specify |
| an implementation of <a href="../reference/api/org/eclipse/debug/ui/ILaunchShortcut.html"><b>ILaunchShortcut</b></a>. |
| This class is used to launch a program given a particular selection in a view or |
| editor.</p> |
| <p> |
| You may also specify when the shortcut should be shown. The <b>contexttualLaunch</b> element allows you to describe |
| applicable modes and enabling conditions for the shortcut. This is best demonstrated by example. The following |
| markup registers shortcuts for launching a Java application:</p> |
| <pre> |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts"> |
| <shortcut |
| label="%JavaApplicationShortcut.label" |
| icon="icons/full/etool16/java_app.png" |
| helpContextId="org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.shortcut_local_java_application" |
| modes="run, debug" |
| class="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.JavaApplicationLaunchShortcut" |
| id="org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.localJavaShortcut"> |
| <contextualLaunch> |
| <enablement> |
| <with variable="selection"> |
| <count value="1"/> |
| <iterate> |
| <or> |
| <test property="org.eclipse.debug.ui.matchesPattern" value="*.java"/> |
| <test property="org.eclipse.debug.ui.matchesPattern" value="*.class"/> |
| <instanceof value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaElement"/> |
| </or> |
| <test property="org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.hasMainType"/> |
| </iterate> |
| </with> |
| </enablement> |
| </contextualLaunch> |
| ... |
| </shortcut> |
| ... |
| </pre> |
| <p>See <a href="workbench_actionfilters.htm">Boolean expressions and action filters</a> for an explanation of the XML syntax for |
| enabling conditions. The complete syntax is described in the documentation for |
| <a href="../reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_debug_ui_launchShortcuts.html"><b>org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts</b></a>.</p> |
