RE: [cdt-dev] Problems creating an IConfiguration

Hi Neil,

The IProjectType.createConfiguration() does not create the tool-chain for the configuration, though the javaDoc comment for that method says that it should :~()

So currently you should explicitly create the tool-chain in case you are creating a new configuration with the IProjectType.createConfiguration().
E.g. see IConfiguration.createToolChain().

Thanks,
Mikhail

Subject: [cdt-dev] Problems creating an IConfiguration

Hi, I'm having problems creating an IConfiguration.

When I call
  config = projectType.createConfiguration(parent, id, name);
the returned IConfiguration has a null toolChain.  This then causes a NullPointerException when other code calls
  newManagedProject.createConfiguration(config, config.getId() + "." + id);

Am I expected to call config.createToolChain(parent.getToolChain(), ...)?
Is this even the right thing to call - should they share a toolChain?
Is there anything else I'd need to set before it can be considered a valid IConfiguration?

Perhaps I should explain what I'm trying to do in-case I'm barking up completely the wrong tree.  I'm writing an importer wizard that produces an IManagedProject.  Because this seems to take an inordinate amount of code I have extended NewManagedCCProjectWizard and override getSelectedConfigurations(), then I call doRun(monitor).  If suitable configurations already exist in projectType.getConfigurations() I return them, otherwise I try and create a new IConfiguration as described above.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.  Thanks,
