- Around line 8-10: The schema's <documentation> placeholders in
launchDefaultsContributor.exsd must be replaced with concrete descriptions for
the public extension contract: locate each <documentation> element inside the
extension point (the current placeholder text "[Enter description of this
extension point.]") and replace it with a clear summary of the extension's
purpose, the contract contributors must implement (expected XML
attributes/elements or extension IDs), required/optional behavior, and a short
example or usage note so implementers know how to provide launch defaults;
update all occurrences (the five placeholder documentation nodes) to use this
concrete content so contributor authors can implement correctly.
In
`@bundles/com.espressif.idf.launch.serial.core/src/com/espressif/idf/launch/serial/core/IDFCoreLaunchConfigProvider.java`:
- Around line 85-98: The loop that invokes
element.createExecutableExtension("class") and then calls
ILaunchDefaultsContributor.applyDefaults(workingCopy) must be hardened so
unchecked exceptions from contributors don't abort config creation; wrap the
contributor execution (the createExecutableExtension call and the applyDefaults
invocation on the ILaunchDefaultsContributor) in a broader try/catch that
catches Exception, and in that catch log the contributor identity (e.g.,
element.getAttribute("class") or element.toString()) along with the exception
via Logger.log so failures are isolated and recorded; keep the existing
CoreException handling but add the generic Exception handler around the
contributor invocation path.

Thanks for the PR, overall LGTM. Also add regression tests that launch a minimal legacy run configuration in debug mode and cover all migration scenarios..

Was this extension point introduced to avoid cyclical dependecy among plugins and do you see other use cases?

Yes. The extension point exists so OpenOCD defaults can be applied from bundles that must not depend on the OpenOCD plugin.

Description
Run and Debug now share a single launch configuration.
If you are coming from an older Espressif-IDE version that had two configs — one for Run (flash) and one for Debug — you can keep using the old Run config as-is. Select it in the launch bar, switch the mode to Debug, and start debugging. You do not have to open the configuration editor first, and you do not have to click Restore defaults. Any debug settings that were never stored on that Run config are filled in at launch with the plugin defaults.
In the editor, empty debug fields are allowed (they show “keep empty for default”). Each Espressif tab also has a Restore defaults button if you want to write the defaults into the file.
