Re: [cdt-dev] How can I properly add an IPathEntry to an ICProject?

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

True, but then MBS predates PathEntry. So I think it goes both ways.

BTW, I still find the Path Entry stuff overly confusing, especially when 
I look at the UI. The MBS approach follows a much more traditional 
approach that I've seen in other IDEs. At least that is my opinion...

Let the Builder War begin ;-)

Cheers,
Doug
