Creating or editing a launch configuration

When you create and then build a project, it is ready to be run or debugged. Both running and debugging of the applications in your project are controlled by a launch configuration. By default, Flex Builder creates a launch configuration for each of the application files in your project the first time you run or debug them. The configurations are based on the default Flex application configuration and you can edit them as you see fit.

Launch configurations are managed in the Create, Manage, and Run Configurations dialog box.

To access and edit a launch configuration:

1. In the Navigator view, select a project.
2. With a project file open in the code editor, right-click (Control-click on Macintosh) to display the pop-up menu and select Run As > Run or Debug As > Debug.

   The Create, Manage, and Run Configurations dialog box appears:

   
   
   

3. Select the launch configuration to edit.

   A number of configurations may be listed if you have other projects in the workspace, if you've set other project files as application files, or if other Eclipse plug-ins are installed.

   By default, the first time you run a project, Flex Builder creates a project-specific launch configuration, which is based on the default Flex application launch configuration.

   You can edit application-specific configurations. You can also create new a launch configuration or base a new configuration on an existing configuration.

4. Modify the configuration preferences as needed, and click Run or Debug.
