When I save my launch configurations as a local file and then delete the project, all the local configurations get deleted as well. How can I resolve this issue?

Follow the steps given below:

1. From the IDE menu bar, select Window > Preferences .
2. Select Run/Debug> Launching > Launch Configurations .

   The Launch Configuration settings appear.

3. Make sure that the Delete configurations when associated resource is deleted checkbox is cleared.
   Figure 1. Preferences Dialog Box - Launch Configuration
   
   
   
   
4. Click OK .

Now, the configurations will not be deleted when the associated resource is project.
