[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14083?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12769074#comment-12769074 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-14083:
---------------------------------------------

Yahor, makes no sense to me to have launch configuration complexity for something as simple as launching what for 99% users are just a browser. We need to make this as simple as possible.

You can make an extension point that allows other plugins to adjust/modify the launch arguments based on which project the browser is targeting.

That said, you can do this hybridappnature detection without any build dependency since it is just a textual type. 

You can do that without giving up the feature of having someone write a specific launch configuration.

Everybody wins.

> Launch configurations is the conventional way to run applications in Eclipse. The idea of the feature proposal is to create a specific launch configuration allowing to run Cordova enabled projects in CordovaSim.
> The launch configuration might have the following attributes:
> # Root folder (e.g. {{/myProject/www}})
> # Start page (e.g. {{index.html}})
> # Port number for embedded Jetty server (e.g. {{4400}}). This port will be visible in the BrowserSim address bar.
> The launch configuration might be automatically configured for:
> # Projects with the JBoss Tools Cordova nature which has {{www/index.html}}.
> # Projects with the Android nature which has {{assets/www/index.html}}.
> # Any {{.html}} file selected by the user.
> # Any folder selected by the user if it has an {{index.html}} in it.
