         This extension point provides a configurable mechanism for comparing specific attributes of a launch configuration.
In general, launch configuration attributes can be compared for equality via the default implementation of &lt;samp&gt;java.lang.Object.equals(Object)&lt;/samp&gt;.
However, attributes that require special handling should implement this extension point.
For example, when an attribute is stored as XML, it is possible that two strings representing an equivalent attribute have different whitespace formatting.

         The following is an example of a launch configuration comparator extension point:

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
 &lt;extension point=&quot;org.eclipse.debug.core.launchConfigurationComparators&quot;&gt;
  &lt;launchConfigurationComparator
   id=&quot;com.example.ExampleIdentifier&quot;
   attribute=&quot;com.example.ExampleAttributeName&quot;
   class=&quot;com.example.ComparatorImplementation&quot;&gt;
  &lt;/launchConfigurationComparator&gt;
 &lt;/extension&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

In the example above, the specified type of launch configuration comparator will be consulted when comparing the equality of attributes keyed with name &lt;samp&gt;com.example.ExampleAttributeName&lt;/samp&gt;.

         Value of the attribute &lt;b&gt;class&lt;/b&gt; must be a fully-qualified name of a Java class that implements the interface &lt;b&gt;java.util.Comparator&lt;/b&gt;.
