I filed IZ#152247 on behalf of MC. Although the issue was resolved, the resolution doesn't satisfy MC's requirements. What they need is a means of replacing the NativeExecutor with one of their own. The fix for 152247 was at to high of a level and didn't address the root problem, which was that MC needs to have control over execution of the binary.
Note: MC would like this issue fixed in a NB 6.7 patch.

Reassigning to Andrew. He is working in this now.
Vincent, could you, please, why 152247 wasn't enough for you?
The issue 152247 only addresses customizing the action of the whole Run button. You have to re-create the whole functionlity. Right now CND does everything we need by calling make and building the project etc. The only issue is the final action is to execute natively the output at the end. Since in most native development, the output is an application. Launching an application is accpetable. The results of our build is a hex file that needs to be loaded into a target tool and then allowed to execute remote from the PC. We would like to customize ONLY the last action step of executing the native application.
