Description

This extension point is used to add 'standalone program' and 'Workbench view' launch items to the Launcher, optionally grouping them into categories so as to form a multi-tiered hierarchy. Standalone programs are executed using the platform's event loop. Workbench views are created within the active Workbench Perspective.
