The main file of the launch config is used to set several file path variables, which can be used in several fields of the configuration, notably the shell commands to be executed, and wrapper code input. To use a variablethe syntax is ${variable_name}. The variables that are set are

...

Note: The variables are created in the first KiCo launch. So if you want to select them in a variable selection dialog of Eclipse, you must have started at least one KiCo launch configuration. (Screenshot of selection dialog)

The values of the launch config can also be (re)set to an environment. This will revert the fields for the compilation target, wrapper code generation and command execution.

The compilation via KiCo is configured on the Compilation tab. Here you can add/remove files that should be compiled via KiCo and the target language as well as the file extension for the language (such as .java for Java). The files will be compiled sequentially in order of appearance in the list. Further, it is possible to add a file path to a template for the output. This is useful to add surrounding content to the KiCo output. The placeholder ${kico_code} can be used in the template.

On the Execute tab, a list of shell commands can be added. They are executed sequentially in order as they appear in the list, after the KiCo compilation and wrapper code generation finished successfully. If a command fails (returns a non-zero exit code), following commands will not be excuted. The name of commands have to be unique and must not contain a comma.

The standard streams of executed shell commands (stdin, stderr, stdout), as well as errors from the KiCo compilation and wrapper code generation, are printed to the Console View. (Screenshot)
