ok, I'm now a PyDev Knight ;)

Is the only way to launch scripts the OfflineAction, or can we create
menu entries/toolbar buttons?

Is there a wiki page to share snippets?

What are people doing with scripting?

I just created a script to stop the active debugger, then clean my app
(database, sessions, etc) & then restart the debugger.

Generic part:
from org.eclipse.debug.core import DebugPlugin, ILaunchManager
singleton = DebugPlugin.getDefault()
launchManager = singleton.getLaunchManager()
launches = launchManager.getLaunches()
if len(launches):
    launchConfig = launches[0].getLaunchConfiguration()
    print "Stopping Debug"
    launchManager.removeLaunches(launches)
else:
    launchConfig = None

# (clean app happens in here, but not included)

if launchConfig:
    print "Starting Debug"
    launch = launchConfig.launch(ILaunchManager.DEBUG_MODE, None)
    launchManager.addLaunch(launch)


Changes to the script only seem to take effect when I restart Eclipse
(4.2.2) - the docs suggested that no restart was required?

Thanks,
Fran.
