[cdt-dev] Extension of CDT is broken in M8

[Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The reorganization of CDT features and plugins for M8 has apparently
resulted in a configuration that PDE does not handle well.  One
manifestation of this problem is that the "Plug-ins" view of the PDE
perspective does not show any of the CDT plug-ins.  Another is that it's no
longer possible to extend the managed build system since the
ManagedBuildInfo extension point and the plug-in that declares it are not
"visible" to PDE.  It's certainly possible I've set something up wrong, but
I've done fresh installs of M8 on three diffreent machines, and I'm seeing
the problem on all three.

I searched bugzilla but didn't hit anything that looked like this problem.
There's been some discussion in the CDT newsgroup on this subject
(4/21/2004 --"Can't extend the CDT"), but since there hasn't been a reply
from any of the CDT developers, I thought it best to raise the issue in the
mailing list.  Is this a known problem that is being addressed?  Should I
open a bug report?

Thanks.
