[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-8548) Support auto discovery of remote processes for debugging

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8548?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-8548: -------------------------------------- I will create the UI as you required. I wanted to enable the user to select more projects that would be added as the default attachment. The Eclipse's Remote Java Application configuration adds only the first selected project. This can also be performed by changing a source path computer of the Eclipse's Remote Java Application configuration, but that would be changing the standard Eclipse Remote Configuration. "project selection, port" aren't the only criterias when selecting some configuration. The user can also use some additional source attachments that there aren't in his workspace. For example, when the user tests Arquillian on JBoss AS, he will want to add some libraries from JBoss AS, when testing it on Glassfish, he will want to add Glassfish libraries ... The user will create separate configurations on JBoss AS and Glassfish, but how to choose what configuration to launch? What will the plugin do if it can't find a corresponding "project selection, port"? Would we create a different configuration for every "project selection, port" combination? That would mean creating a lot of launch configurations. Would we change an existing remote configuration? When using the standard Eclipse Remote Java Application configuration, we mustn't change it because we can't know if the user has created it for other purpose. It is likely that adding some new potential feature to this plugin won't be possible to do using the standard Eclipse remote configuration. That's why I have created a separate type of a launch configuration. It is similar to the standard Eclipse remote configuration, but has a separate source path computer. This way, we can add all selected projects to the default attachment and create a separate Launch Configuration dialog. The "default" launch configuration is created if there isn't any JBoss remote launch configuration. The user can create more different configurations in order to be able to add different source attachments for different applications. When starting debugging automatically (using a menu or shortcut), the plugin uses a configuration that he marks as the default. The plugin checks and, if necessary, changes the selected projects and the port of that configuration and launches the configuration. The user's additional source attachments won't be changed. If the user wants to start a non-default configuration with different attachments, he can call the "Configure..." action or change the default configuration. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
