Description Anton Leherbauer CLA 2007-01-10 11:10:32 EST 
The Project Explorer is the platform provided generic project view based on the Common Navigator Framework which is capable of viewing content from different project types side by side and providing support for extensions by ISVs. 
With the availability of the CDT specific content extensions for this view (see bug 140337) the C/C++ Projects view is almost completely replicated inside the Project Explorer.
Therefore, I would like to propose making the Project Explorer the default project tree view for the C/C++ perspective, ie. putting it on top of the C/C++ Projects view and the Navigator view.

Added a dependency on bug 150404 which should be fixed first.
Comment 2 Doug Schaefer CLA 2007-01-10 11:24:37 EST 
+1 as long as the duplicate project thing is fixed first.

I'm not a part of the CDT team, but I would like to see the projct explorer as default view, too. It provides better support for third-party extensions.

I added another bug regarding copy/paste/... actions, which should be fixed first:

O.K. the duplicates are gone and I'm ready to go. I'll take it and do it ASAP.

Wow, it's too easy. I have checked in the two line delta to remove the CView and the Resource Navigator from the perspective initialization. I am leaving the CView code and extension there in case someone really needs it.
