activated
This method was added to theILaunchConfigurationTab
interface in the 3.0 release to allow tabs to distinguish between a tab being activated and a tab group be initialized for the first time, from a selected launch configuration. To maintain backwards compatible behavior, the default implementation provided, calls this tab'sinitializeFrom

allow tabs to determine the appropriate course of action.- Specified by:
activated
