Both Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge and the Eclipse framework offer options that affect launch configurations.
• To set Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge launching preferences, select Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Advanced > Launching.
You can choose the Configurations wizard defaults for two important settings on the Main tab:
AVM usage - By default, a new configuration runs under a separate, dedicated instance of the AVM. To change the default behavior so that new configurations use the same instance of the AVM as the project, check Use project AVM for new launch configurations. (In Debug mode, however, programs always run in a separate instance of the AVM, irrespective of the preference setting or the setting in the Configurations wizard.)
Startup program - By default, a new configuration definition identifies a specific program to be run. To change the default behavior so that new configurations run whatever program is currently selected, check Use selection in workspace for new launch configurations.
