I've attached a small patch to bugzilla 131226 to achieve minimal programming
language neutrality in the CDT UI. If you are interested in the CDT UI,
please give a try. It is basically what Craig Rasmussen proposed for Photran's
needs with 2 changes:
1. Instead of naming things "Make", I have named them "Compiled Languages".
So, "Make Perspective" becomes "Compiled Languages Development Perspective".
2. I added new wizards for "Compiled Languages Projects", but left the C/C++
wizards. The matching Compiled Languages wizard and C/C++ wizards do exactly
the same thing - there is no separate code, they invoke the same Java class. I
left the C/C++ wizards because the question I see most often on the Photran
mailing list (which uses "Make Projects") is how do I create a Fortran project?
There are (at least) two things that would also need to be changed:
1. Making the icons generic. Craig has some icons that he used for the "Make"
UI elements that would probably work OK.
2. The Preference pages would need to be examined to split any common language
preferences from the C/C++ specific preferences.
You can add your comments to the bugzilla.
Thanks,
Leo
