Re: [cdt-dev] Patch to create ICoreModel interface

My current thought is to build on the mechanisms we have in place for

for a language (and probably a language UI interface for customizing
certain UI elements like icons). We already have a number of places
where
we check whether we are C or C++ to customize behavior in the CDT. The
idea would be to make it extensible so that we can look up in a
generic
way to do the same tricks.
A facility to customize UI elements like icons would help a great deal.
A thought I've had about natures:
I can currently define a nature using the
org.eclipse.core.resources.natures extension
point. However (as far I know), there is no way to add a new nature to
the grammar in
buildDefinitions.exsd.
Perhaps a project could contain a list of language natures with the
contents set by
the user when the Managed Make Project Wizard is run. A tool would be
displayed
if its corresponding language nature is in the project.
Cheers,
Craig
