Start mutliple java applications at once in eclipse

Question

Just for convenience ...

I am working on a project with multiple spring boot apps. Is there a way to create a Run Configuration in eclipse that starts multiple apps with one click?

Currently I have to go through all the different configs using the drop down menu.

Thanks for your help!

The upcoming Spring Tools Suite (based on eclipse) has a nice Spring Boot dashboard feature. You can get the release candidate previews here:

You can select multiple boot apps in the dashboard then click on the "play" button to launch them all at once.

It turns out the extension "C/C++ Development Tools" from the CDT also works for Java development. And it offers "Launch Groups" which are exactly what I was looking for.
