Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-19711:
-------------------------------------

> do we have a bugzilla open about having apis that ask for targets instead of having to keep manually updating a list that potentially can get out of sync and just generally makes it hard to maintain? 

No... we don't.  I'm not sure why or how this could get out-of-sync?  Every time a server is added or removed, my listener is informed. My listener then adds an org.eclipse.remote server, and adds a launchbar element.   There's honestly more risk of o.e.remote list of servers getting out of sync than there is with launchbar,  because launchbar doesn't persist any of the launch objects on workspace close, while o.e.remote keeps the list saved somewhere... which means an extra o.e.remote connection is more likely to stick around and cause trouble. 

Honestly, the internal model in launchbar is really quite messy.  It kind of scares me to touch it, but I don't exactly feel empowered to rewrite / reorganize the entire class. What's more, they're being *very* nitpicky over my every patch, even ones I've felt so far were very non-controversial.
