I'm a beginner with the CDT API too and was searching
for a possibility to pass options to a compile as well.
I made a very simple project template for our purposes.
Until now it's just xml-definitions - no line of java.
So I'm wondering, if it's not possible to do the options
definition in xml without programming.
The two solutions to sindolfo's question from fstanley
and Marc Weber include
a minimum of programming, when I understood well.
Recently I found a tutorial "Extending the Eclipse
CDT Managed Build System" for toolchain-definition at http://www.ddj.com/cpp/197002115?pgno=1.
There it's described how you can call a tool giving command line options
using the org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefintions extension
point.
I tried it and found it not too easy, but it worked
at the end. I did'nt try to use this in our template until now.

So my question to the savants: is this a feasable
and good way to change command line options or would it be easyer/better
to 
overwrite methods?
