Hi @iloveeclipse, If there are no more changes can this be merged ? - the build failures look like some infra issue. |
Can you please attach screenshot of most recent change and have you checked with other launch configs (profile/coverage)?
I've retriggered builds |

This commit add an additional Run/Debug Launch config button to quickly open corresponding launch group from the dialog instead of closing and clicking the drop down to navigate the same

Hi @iloveeclipse, if there are no more changes required, can this be merged ? |
Adds a new button in the Run/Debug/etc Launch Configuration dialog for the “No Recent Launches” state. This allows users who accidentally click Run or Debug or Any launches without any recent configurations to quickly jump to the corresponding launch configuration group directly from the dialog, without closing it and navigating through the dropdown again.
This improves usability by providing a faster and more convenient recovery path when no recent launches are available.
