RE: RE: [cdt-dev] Beyond CDT 3.1

At some point we need to be able to release components that sit on top of
the basic CDT on separate schedules. Sounds like the time is now.

There maybe some issues that require extension points defined by 3.1.1 to
make this happen code wise. But lets do it and get it done to enable this.

We should consider doing this for the gnu toolchain as well. I've started my
.Net/Mono support and will have toolchain support there that I'd like to
deliver separately. You'd probably not want the GNU toolchain on Windows if
it turns out our C++.Net support really rocks. But that may have to wait for
CDT 4.0.

The update site and our build scripts should be able to support building
additional distributions. I'll soak some cycles in making that happens in
time for the xlC toolchain support if that's where we want to go with it.

The plan was to deliver these in their own plugin.  However, they still
need to be attached to some official release of CDT, or else they never
become official themselves.

As far as sub-dividing CDT into more features so that users can manage
their installed feature set with better granularity, this is something I'm
personally open to, although currently the size delta would be pretty
small.

Just as a matter of question, why does this compiler need to be in CDT
directly instead of making it a extra plugin to install?

If all compilers are included in CDT, what is the advantage of plugins in
Eclipse? Then you also would not need to export extension interfaces but
hook everything into CDT. Then we also include support for all doc
generation tools, for all compilers, all debuggers, all... you name it.

If I want to use CDT with GCC I would like to have support as plugin for
GCC. If I want XLC, Intel C/C++, MS VC++6/2003/2005, BorlandC, OpenWatcom,
etc. pp. I would like to have a plugin for each. But I would like to see,
that I can select the plugins e.g. on CDT download page, Update manager, or
e.g. eclipse-plugins.info website. But I don't like to having to download
100MB CDT which has all support for everything.


BTW., Could someone enlighten me, why my build console does not highlight
any info or error messages in the colors set in the preference pages?
Is this bug still active?
