[cdt-dev] GUI Plugin Development

[Asim Zaka <asim.zaka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have just ported C source to eclipse development environment and 
made a set of Makefiles what can compile the C code with various 
compilers for various microprocessors.

Now what I want to do is to be able to make a simple GUI which 
plugs-into eclipse and all it does is configures the type of build 
that the user needs to have. for example, it has drop down menus called:

Compilers: different compilers to chose from.

Microprocessors: Different microprocessors to chose from

Build Type: Source dependant defines.

Can someone please suggest the best place for me to start from? Like 
what process do I need to go through on eclipse project, what 
libraries do I need, what eclipse extension do I develop on? These 
kind of simple questions.
