I've opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=467604 to
track the issue. Thanks all.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for considering this contribution... It looks promising with
very interesting applications for WTP as you mentioned. I agree with
Doug its way too late for Mars at this point, but we should keep up
the discussion for the next release perhaps Mars SR1.
Can you open an enhancement bugzilla to track your work, and we can
discuss the contribution, the benefits over the current lanuch UI etc....
Thanks - Chuck

Hi Rob,
Actually, the dependencies from remote and launch bar aren’t any
different than RSE and Terminal today. It uses the CDT native services
for terminal type things and that’s about it unless I’m missing something.
But it’s really late in Mars to be doing much more. When is WTP’s next
release? The next minor release for remote and launch bar should be in
Sept with Mars SR-1. We should be able to add API and features to
support WTP and other new users of these frameworks. We can do any
required API clean up with a major release at Neon.

Hi All:
So, there's a new feature currently being developed in a CDT repo, but
with ambitions to be used throughout eclipse, and moved to somewhere
more conveinent. The feature is named "launchbar", and you can read
about it here: _https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/LaunchBar_
As you can see from the UI, it's intention is to streamline launching
things. Looking at it, it **does** seem like it'd be quite a nice fit
for webtools.servertools, to "debug" "MyServlet" on "Some Tomcat Server".
I've developed a proof-of-concept which seems to work quite nicely so
far, but to see it in action you'd need to have org.eclipse.remote
(which is in the ptp repo for now) and a few low-level CDT plugins
that it depends on.
I currently have my PoC over at:
_https://github.com/robstryker/jbt-experimental_
Is there a place in webtools for such a contribution? I'd be willing
to work with org.eclipse.remote (in the ptp repo) and
org.eclipse.launchbar (in the cdt repo) to clean up their dependencies
and make this easier to consume, but obviously only if webtools had an
interest in such a contribution.
In its shortest form, it's basically a faster and more prominent way
to execute the Run On Server action. Many users in the past have
complained it was a bit hard to find that action, and launchbar is a
very obvious way to make it more likely to grab their attention.
Unfortunately upstream APIs aren't quite what we'd consider "stable",
and are still undergoing frequent changes. The o.e.remote addition is
expected to be the next generation of RSE, and both that and launchbar
are expecting Mars to be their 1.0 release.
I'd love to hear if there's interest in such a thing, and what
requirements you'd all have as conditions (ie dep tree, etc).
