16 Launcher Integration
An eclipse launch configuration is a description of how to launch a program. The program itself may be a Java program, another Eclipse instance in the form of a runtime workbench, a C program, or something else. The impulse launch integration enables users to bind an impulse port to a launch configuration.
The port will be opened in an impulse viewer (if its not already open) when the launch is started. Depending on the mode settings, this might be in debug or run-mode only, or always.
