RE: [cdt-dev] Re: Need to know how to debug the indexer

[Doug Schaefer <DSchaefer@xxxxxxx>]

As I mentioned, I use the source out of CVS. Theoretically you can use the
CDT SDK feature to do it, but I haven't tried that. In that case you would
import the cdt plugins as binary plugins (and not the source plugins since
the source lookup is handled automagically).
