Preferred Launch Configuration

• the preferred launch configuration can be selected in the button pull-down menu
• can be launched by the F12 key (at the side of Eclipse's F11 run shortcut)

Correspondent Test Launch

A 'Run Correspondent Test' button is also add in the toolbar and will launch the test corresponding to the active Java class being edited. By default, the plugin searches the correspondent test matching the "{classname}Test" pattern, but it can be configured in the preference page.
