Re: [cdt-dev] The old binary projects question again

["Douglas Schaefer" <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I'm referring to the classpath containers.  And yes, I see what you 
mean by the fragments showing up in the .project files.  Almost looks like 
a bug in the PDE.  It would be interesting to find out why they do it.

I presume you are taking about turning on the option which makes PDE use 
classpath containers for
dependent plugins. If so, then I've had my CDT project configured this 
way for a week or 2 now and
everything still works fine with a few observations, first, this is not 
'on' by default so you will just have
to make sure everyone turns it on in the preferences.  The second thing 
I've noticed is that it seems that
PDE will update the plugin dependencies more often, causing the fragment 
plugins to be included in the
.project which mean we all need to have every fragment checkout so that 
it builds for every platform that
its checkout on.
