Re: [cdt-dev] Confusing feature names and descriptions
|
OK. I'll make another pass through the welcome page and the docs too. If I see no code changes have been made in HEAD, I'll respin.

Most users download the C/C++ IDE and won't even see these names. That said, if someone wants to fix them up, go ahead and we can pick it up in the next respin. But all respins risk breaking things, so I wouldn't want to respin just for this.
BTW after the Helios RC4 get's published, probably on Wed or Thurs, you have to ask everyone at Eclipse for respins. So, no we don't really have until 6/14, at least for something like this.

There is still some time before 6/14 and there is no risk of breaking anything.

Yup, noticed that too when changing the icons. We do need a pass through them to make them consistent. But since we're done, it'll have to wait.
Why installing RC4 I noticed that names and descriptions of some of the optional CDT features are very confusing. Here are few examples:
CDT Utilities
The purpose of this feature is completely unclear and the Details section doesn't provide any useful information.
Eclipse C/C++ Development Platform
The Details section says: "Eclipse C/C++ Development Platform. It contains no toolchain integrations.". How is it different from Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools in CDT Main Features?
Eclipse C/C++ DSF gdb Debugger Integration
How is it different from CDT GNU Toolchain Debug Support?
Eclipse CDT Testing Feature
It's not clear from the name or Details section what this feature is for. A user may think that the feature supports development of C/C++ tests.
Eclipse Debugger for C/C++
It's not clear from the name or Details section what this feature is for. The description should say that this is an alternative to DSF gdb.
Names of features is inconsistent:
- Some names start from "Eclipse C/C++", some from "CDT", some don't mention Eclipse of CDT at all.
- Some features have word "Feature" in their names, some don't.
Now it seems to be a good time to clean this mess up. Any objections? I would appreciate if somebody can answer my questions above.
