Among other executotion types, there is a special execution type called "Debugger Execution". It is hardly usable. When somebody wants to use it, they must change the main class's executor to Debugger Execution and then execute it. But when they want to execute the class in normal mode (not debugging), they must change the executor again. Proposed change: ---------------- 1) Add one more execution property for a class. There are four properties: Arguments Compiler Debugger Executor Add "Debugger Executor". 2) Add two more actions to each executable class. There are two actions: Compile Execute Add "Debug" and "Execute in debugging mode". Action "Execute in debugging mode" would use the specified "Debugger Executor". Note: This proposal must be discussed in more details. E.g. would not "Debugging Types" duplicate function of "Debugger Executors"?
I would be rather careful about adding properties to the class: I suppose someone will ask to add a "Profiler" and "Profiler executor" at some time in the future (make up more services and executions specialized for them if you want). Why not just create "Execute in *** mode", which would refer to the class' configured (or default) ** service ? This solution will add just no property for debugger (and one property per new service type).
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.
The concept has totally changed
