The Launch Mode combobox at the top of the dialog serves a dual purpose. + 1. It dictates the desired mode for the launch configuration being added, +and + 2. It establishes a 'mode' filter for the launch configurations that are +exposed to the user (for selection) in the area below the combobox + +For example, when the 'debug' mode is selected, (1) only launch configurations +that support being invoked in 'debug' mode appear. Also, (2) when the launch +group is invoked, that particular child launch configuration will be invoked in +'debug' mode. + | |

+This checkbox acts as a sort of override to whatever mode is set in the Launch Mode +combobox. Checking this option indicates that the child launch configuration +should be launched in the mode used to initiate the launch group launch. This +needs some clarification. First, realize that a launch configuration can be +invoked from either the 'Debug' or the 'Run' actions (and some comparable +'profile' action in certain Eclipse configurations/products). That means, the +launch group itself can be launched either in debug or run mode. When you check +the "Use default..." checkbox, you're saying: "launch this particular child +configuration in the mode that the parent (launch group) is launched with." If +you do not have that checkbox checked, then the child configurations will be +invoked in whatever mode each individual child is configured with. + +Note that "Use default..." control can allow you to create a launch group +that will not be successful. For example when one or more launch configurations +selected cannot be launched in the mode dictated by launch group mode. + | |
+There are several actions available that control what should be done after each launch:
