    Hi

    I was using a "standard" eclipse build, where CTRL-F11 started the last launched program.
    I have upgraded/changed to use easy eclipse destkop 1.3.1.1
    Now I find that ctrl-f11 starts the "run as" dialog.
    I have tried to change the key bindings but find there is no "run last launched" option.

    A friend's pc with an older version of easy eclipse has this option.

    Where has it gone on mine, and how do I get it back ?

    Thanks all

    Rob

      Hi Rob:
      This is those little annoyances with the core Eclipse that we ought to have fix.... but did not.
      Starting with Eclipse 3.3 this is not the default anymore... I find it extremely annoying myself too.
      But the workaround is easy.
      Go to preferences->Run/Debug/Launching
      And the bottom of the pref page, in the "launch operation" group , you can select "Always launched the previously launched application" and that will restore the old behavior.
      I don't know why this was changed, but that is certainly a blooper on the part of the Eclipse core team .
      /HTH
