The first step is to raise a bugzilla entry
with your proposal. I’m the CDT debug community would like to discuss this
first, especially if they are MIPS specific since we don’t’ really have any
other processor specific things in CDT debug, and actually want to get what CPU
specific info we have in the CDT core out. If they are generic, though, or
extensible to other processor families then we’d be very interested.
I also thing someone has provided a
tutorial on how to contribute on our wiki site. Check the CDT web site for
links to these two spots: http://www.eclipse.org/cdt.

contributions
Hello all,
I've been working for the last year on some plug-ins to
extend the CDT debugger interface for the MIPS CPU architecture. Now I
want to contribute my work back into CDT and I want to find out the best way to
do this.
For example, I wrote a separate Registers view that includes
MIPS-specific register information, changed the formatting and added some
filters. Should this be submitted as a patch, a fragment, or an entire
plug-in?
Also, I need some help with the basics in the Eclipse
environment. How do I set up a workspace with all of the Eclipse and CDT
source? Do I download or use CVS? How do I import all the
projects? I want to replicate other contributors' environments. Is
there a document explaining all of this?
Thanks,
Brent
