Starting a non-J2EE application in the EGL debugger
To start debugging an EGL text program or non-J2EE basic program in an EGL debugging session, a launch configuration is required. A launch configuration defines a program's file location and specifies how the program should be launched. You can let the EGL application create the launch configuration (implicit creation), or you can create one yourself (see Creating a launch configuration in the EGL debugger).
To launch a program using an implicitly created launch configuration, do as follows:
- In the Project Explorer view, right-click the EGL source file you want to launch. Alternatively, if the EGL source file is open in the EGL editor, you can right-click on the program in the Outline view.
- A context menu displays.
- Click Debug EGL Program. A launch configuration is created, and the program is launched in the EGL debugger.
To view the implicitly created launch configuration, do as follows:
- Click the arrow next to the Debug button on the toolbar. A context menu displays.
- Click Debug. The Debug dialog displays. The name of the launch configuration is displayed in the Name field. Implicitly created launch configurations are named according to the project and source file names.
Note: You can also display the Debug dialog by clicking Debug from the Run menu.
