As an alternative to @JesperE's solution, you can filter out the XSL run configuration by Run/Debug -> Launching -> Launch Configurations -> Filter checked launch configuration types (on right pane) and then check the XSL checkbox.

When you apply and close the preferences window, open "Run Configurations" and you will notice the annoying XSL launch config is no longer there. This way, you can still have the ability to launch the selected executable class, but not if it is an XML file.
