This attribute is used to map a contrinbuted tab to one or more launch delegates. This allows tabs to be filtered from the launch dialog based on what launch delegate is selected as the current default. For example, if two plug-ins contribute launch delegates and tabs for the same launch mode, only one set of tabs will be displayed to the user based on the enabled delegate chosen by the user.



The following example adds the tab "FooTab" to the local java application launch tab group.

<tab class=

"org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.launchConfigurations.FooTab"

group=

"org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.launchConfigurationTabGroup.localJavaApplication"

id=

"org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.fooTab"

name=

"Foo Tab"

>

</tab>

</extension>

The debug platform provides two abstract classes that clients should subclass when implementing launch tabs. See AbstractLaunchConfigurationTab and AbstractOptionLaunchConfigurationTab in package org.eclipse.debug.ui.
