Description Jonah Graham CLA 2015-09-25 05:51:39 EDT 
I am working on my first module, one for doing Launch (and maybe some debug).
Comment 1 Christian Pontesegger CLA 2015-09-25 09:57:50 EDT 
Great idea!
In case you need some points to start with, the ease.ui module comes with some helper methods to create and run launch configurations. Now dedicated to EASE, these helpers might be easily reused for a dedicated module.

This sounds like it might be *exactly* what I'm after, even including killing the external program when the run/debug session ends. Very nice!
Comment 7 Christian Pontesegger CLA 2015-10-15 03:50:16 EDT 
implemented, thanks for the commit!

@Jan:

Kill ing an external Process cannot be done with the launch directly.

Eventually you could use runProcess from the Platform module to issue a kill command...

However if you have launched the program with an External Tools Configuration launch, then you can terminate it. e.g.:

myRunningExternalLaunch = launch("External Launch Configuration Name")
// ... logic ...
myRunningExternalLaunch.terminate()

The example snippet provided in https://git.eclipse.org/c/ease/org.eclipse.ease.scripts.git/tree/JavaScript%20Snippets/Script%20helpers/Add%20to%20script%20locations.js shows an example of terminating a launch, that applies equally to external program launches.
