Created attachment 268721 [details] two launch groups In Bug 492788 Launch Groups were promoted to Core Debug from CDT (yay!). However that has left in Oxygen two launch groups launch types if CDT is installed. See screenshot.
We have to do migrate old one to new once to remove them completely.... Unfortunately migrate is not automatic functionality
Hm. Not so nice... Actually there is nothing really figured out on removing it from CDT. The most simple thing to do right now would be (for Oxygen) to remove the extension point registration for the CDT launch group elements - I don't have them all at hand, so you'd need to search for those. On migrating individual configurations: it should be possible to "migrate" to the core debug version by changing the launch configuration type ID in the actual launch configurations. Unfortunately I need to run now, so I cannot lookup more information. I'll be back on 8th of June, then I could help
Thanks Elena and Markus. (In reply to Elena Laskavaia from Bug 492788 comment #31) > Yes ID has to change to platform debug one.

IMHO we should just change name of this LC type and add (Deprecated) word it in. Document that it will be removed, ask used to migrate manually (recreate manually - no programmatic help). Remove from next release (Oxygen +1).
Thanks Elena, That would make life simpler! I'll do that instead of trying to write a converter. Jonah

To migrate an existing Group Launch Configuration from CDT's deprecated format to the Platform format simply edit the .launch file and change the following things (with Eclipse not running). Change: <launchConfiguration type="org.eclipse.cdt.launch.launchGroup"> to: <launchConfiguration type="org.eclipse.debug.core.groups.GroupLaunchConfigurationType"> Change all the key prefixes from: org.eclipse.cdt.launch.launchGroup to: org.eclipse.debug.core.launchGroup Change the attribute type for "[...].enabled" attributes from: stringAttribute to: booleanAttribute If your .launch file is not stored in your project, it can be found in workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches
