Re: [cdt-dev] API tooling errors

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Doug, I see the errors also now.

Note that it does not fix the other bug I mentioned:
>>> 1- Change the string value of ICDebugConstants.DEF_CHARSET and save.  I get an API-tool error
>>> 2- Change the string value of ICDebugConstants.PREF_STEP_MODE and save.  I get no error. ???

but I think we should use the procedure you just described to setup the API tool from now one.
I will update the wiki page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/policy#Using_API_Tooling

Yes, extract a 3.7.0 platform (or Eclipse SDK), launch it and point p2
at the cdt-master-8.0.0.zip archive, uncheck the show categories and
select all the features in the zip and install them. There must be
something that needs a proper p2 install for the API tooling to work.
