Cannot add a launch shortcut (Eclipse Plug-in)

Answer 1

You class should implement ILaunchShortcut. Check out the Javadoc.

What exception are you getting? Check the error log.

Answer 2

I'm really not sure if I'm supposed to write a follow-up here but let me clarify my question more. I've extended org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.launchConfigurations.JavaLaunchShortcut. Plus, I've added my own logger to constructors and methods, but the class seems like it's never even instantiating.

Thanks. Woongbin

Answer 3

Answer:

I found the answer. I had to add contextualLaunch under org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts. The old was seems like it's deprecated a long ago. For other ppl who are working on the same subject, you might want to extend org.eclipse.ui.commands and bindings, too.

I cannot choose this answer but this is the answer that I (asker) was looking for.

Answer 4

Mr. Woongbin

Could you be more specific and tell me what do you mean by:

I had to add contextualLaunch under org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchShortcuts

Because I am facing the same problem. I am building a new programming language, its files extensions is .abu. I want to right click the file and from the run as menu i choose my own launchShortcut and run this .abu ugly file.

Thank you and Appreciate your help, Abubaker,
