'How to terminate previous debug session when new one is launched?

In Flash Builder 4 you are able to have the previous debugging session be terminated as soon as you launch a new one. In eclipse previous debugging sessions stick around until you manually terminate them.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have eclipse terminate previous debug sessions when launching a new one, and if so how?

(I am using MyEclipse for Spring 8.6)

eclipse myeclipse

Not the best answer but... you could just make terminating easier on yourself, try Ctrl+F2

You can also go to Window > Preferences > General > Keys and search for Terminate and Relaunch. I'm trialing Alt+F11.

Alternatively you terminate on build with scripts like here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=647327&th=202549

First launch normal debugging session.
After that, while in debugging mode, you can use Terminate and Relaunch.

Here is how to bind the keys to the commands properly (Window/Preferences -> Settings/General/Keys):

In this case it is:

F11 for Debug
Shift+F11 for Terminate and Relaunch

Note: when assigning the keys, pay attention to When column.

If you press Shif during launching the new run, the old one will be terminated automatically.
