RE: [cdt-dev] CDT 2.0 M5 and Eclipse compatibility

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Good point, Ed,

This is certainly the objective (and why we are actually using the same 
milestone numbers). And right now, CDT Head and the CDT 2.0M5 will run 
with Eclipse 3.0M4. There has been a lot of API and plugin changes to 3.0 
with the Rich Client Platform work and we just haven't got around to 
keeping up and simply aren't going to be ready by the end of next week. 
What this milestone for the CDT will give us is a number of important bug 
fixes and compatibility with the Eclipse 3.0M4 build.

I'm also sure we're not the only component also going through this. This 
is going to be the roughest point in the cycle for Eclipse 3.0 adoption 
for everyone. It will take time. Once the API changes slow down, it'll be 
a lot easier to keep in sync.

Cheers,

RE: [cdt-dev] CDT 2.0 M5 and Eclipse compatibility






I have a whole bunch of users who are just itching to use CDT again 
(myself included) but can't because of the delays getting 3.0 supported. 
Please reconsider tying the CDT builds directly with the Platform builds 
and making CDT run on the very latest 3.0 streams. We have to use those 
latest 3.0 streams for reasons I won't go into now and it's very 
frustrating when CDT won't work with it.

I would recommend a simple rule: CDT HEAD should work with Platform HEAD, 
with continuous integration. Does anyone else feel the same way?
