A Java launch configuration is can be associated with a custom classpath provider via the launch configuration attriubte ATTR_CLASSPATH_PROVIDER and a custom source path provider via the attribute ATTR_SOURCE_PATH_PROVIDER. When specified, the launch configuration attribues correspond to the id of a classpath provider extension.

   <!ATTLIST extension
     point CDATA #REQUIRED
     id    CDATA #IMPLIED
     name  CDATA #IMPLIED

 </extension>
