<p>Defines interfaces for launch variable elements.</p>
<h2>Package Specification</h2>
<p>This package defines classes and interfaces which support variable definition
and management. These variables are intended to be used in launch
configurations as a means of easing configuration management and making
configurations more portable.</p>
<h4>Simple Launch Variables</h4>
<p>Simple variables are simple key/value pairs typically created and managed by the user
via a preference page provided by the UI. Plug-in providers can also contribute simple
launch variables via the simpleLaunchVariables extension, optionally supplying an initial
value or a class which will generate the initial value.</p>
<h4>Context Launch Variables</h4>
<p>Context launch variables are variables whose value is computed dynamically, given
a resource context. Typically, this context is determined by the user's selection in the UI.
Context launch variables are contributed via the contextLaunchVariables extension.</p>
