Re: [cdt-dev] Parsing Objective C syntax in a header file

[Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I managed to find the cause of my earlier problem - I'd been defining  
the language like:

<extension point="org.eclipse.cdt.core.language">
		<language class="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.dom.ast.objc.ObjCLanguage"
			id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcLanguage"  
name="%objc.language.name">
			<contentType id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcHeader" />
			<contentType id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcSource" />
		</language>
	</extension>

However, it appears that under the covers, the language ID is being  
prepended with something (bundle id?) and was therefore not being  
found in the mapping. I had to change it to:

<extension point="org.eclipse.cdt.core.language">
		<language class="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.dom.ast.objc.ObjCLanguage"
			id="objcLanguage" name="%objc.language.name">
			<contentType id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcHeader" />
			<contentType id="org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcSource" />
		</language>
	</extension>

Note that in the latter case, the id is just 'objcLanguage' and not  
'org.eclipse.cdt.objc.core.objcLanguage'. I'm including it here for  
reference in case others trip up on this. Now, I have the ability to  
parse header files as Objective C code, and I need to tweak the  
creation of the projects via the wizard to add this automatically, and  
I should be good to go.
