Description

This isn't a MUST item but noting that "history" works different for the "Java Application" run config type you'd use to run a public static void main(String[] argv) Java app from Eclipse.

With our Run Config, you always see a pop-up when you hit the button.

Is there a way to address this?

Research direction

Inspect the Run Configuration toolbar handling and compare it with Eclipse's Java Application history behavior. Determine how the last command is selected and define completion as the toolbar button running that command directly instead of always opening a pop-up menu.
