RE: [cdt-dev] Hierarchical "inheritance" of project properties

[kesselhaus@xxxxxxx]

Hi Leo,

about the "categories"-thing, I've seen lately something about Working Sets
in Eclipse Platform/JDT and on showing them within the Package Explorer.
I've already posted an comment to bugzilla on eclipse-jdt, if this could be
made public to platform or such.
