RE: [cdt-dev] project configurations (includes paths etc)

Hello,

What are the differences between using an external settings provider vs
implementing an 

org.eclipse.cdt.make.core.scannerconfig.IExternalScannerInfoProvider

and providing that using a ScannerConfigurationDiscoveryProfile
extension point?

Thanks,

/Mario

Hi Marc

This is the sort of thing the external setting provider extension  
point is good for. You can use it to provide additional paths to the  
build system dynamically; implementing this should be straightforward.

Cheers,
James
