| The ability to launch (run or debug) code under development is |
| fundamental to an IDE. But because Eclipse is more of a tools |
| platform than a tool itself, Eclipse's launching capabilities |
| depend entirely on the current set of installed plug-ins. This |
| article describes the API available to build launching plug-ins |
| and works through developing an example launcher using this API. |
