This extension point is used to register a launching shortcut in a PDE editor. Launch shortcuts appear in the Testing section on the Overview page of the plug-in manifest editor. This allows clients to display in the editor shortcuts for their custom launch configurations or provide a shorcut to a profile mode for the existing Eclipse Application and OSGi Framework launch configurations.
