Starting a non-JEE application in the EGL debugger

To start debugging an EGL text program or non-JEE basic program in an EGL debugging session, a launch configuration is required. A launch configuration specifies the location of a program on disk and specifies how the program must be launched. You can let the EGL application create the launch configuration (implicit creation), or you can create one yourself (see Creating a launch configuration in the EGL debugger).

To launch a program using an implicitly created launch configuration, do as follows:

  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the EGL source file that you want to launch. Alternatively, if the EGL source file is open in the EGL editor, you can right-click the program in the Outline view. A menu opens.
  2. Click Debug EGL Program. A launch configuration is created, and the program is launched in the EGL debugger.

To view the implicitly created launch configuration, do as follows:

  1. Click the arrow next to the Debug button on the toolbar. A pop-up menu displays.
  2. Click Debug. The Debug dialog displays. The name of the launch configuration is displayed in the Name field. Implicitly created launch configurations are named according to the project and source file names.
Note: You can also display the Debug dialog by clicking Run > Debug.
