[cdt-dev] Looking for a quick way to define tools in MBS

["dmsubs" <dmsubs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm defining a new tool plugin to MBS. I need to define the same tool,
inputType, outputType, optionCategory(s) and option(s) in several different
projectTypes and configurations. 

Using only plugin.xml, the tool has 1 inputType, 1 outputType, 5
optionCategories and over 20 options. I need to replicate the whole edifice
6 times (3 platforms with 2 configurations on each). I'm doing this with cut
and paste... This can lead to errors and is a nightmare to maintain.

So, my question is, is there a way I can define a tool with its
optionCategories, options etc so that I can then reuse them without having
to duplicate?

Thanks,

---
