My installation of Indigo has 'Launch Group' in the debug configuration window. My colleague's does not. What do I have installed that he does not?

To see them, I click on the arrow next to the bug icon, I select 'Debug Configurations...', and I see a green arrow labelled 'Launch Group' in the list of top-level items on the left.

See http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fcdt_u_run_dbg_launch_group.htm

  • Please post a screenshot so it's clearer where the launch groups appear (is it a tab, a configuration type, something else?) – katsharp Jan 25 '12 at 14:14

While E-Riz's answer is correct, if you just want to add the "Launch Group" feature onto an existing eclipse install, you can install just the extension called "C/C++ Remote Launch". (org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote)

Note: this extension is entirely language independent, can be added to any type of eclipse install. The "C/C++" part is probably just because it originated from CDT.

(CDT is a collection of eclipse extensions: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/lunar)

    E. g.: Help -> Install new software -> Neon - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/neon -> Launch Tools -> C/C++ Remote Launch – Torsten Sep 07 '17 at 12:25
  • worked for me!. I had multiple java projects and with "C/C++ Remote Launch" I was able to launch them at one go. – thedevd Aug 23 '18 at 10:54

    Since Eclipse Oxygen (4.7) the "Launch Group" is part of the debug platform and available without having CDT or "C/C+ Remote Launch" installed. – AlexF May 22 '19 at 11:23

I understand now. Based on this page, it looks like it's contributed by the CDT feature set (as of version 6.0). Check that your colleague has CDT installed.
