Re: [cdt-dev] [platform-swt-dev] swt-binaries and maven

[Aleksandar Kurtakov <akurtako@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If I understand your question the reason is because the c sources are the same and preprocessed for some archs.
To give you some more information on the topic:
* official build does natives aggregation only and builds multiple architectures at once
* building natives is just an option activateable via maven plugin for brave people wanting to build everything from source
* not being ready for restructuring the repositories due to other more pressing things.

Would you please give me some more info about the way you think we can make use of maven-nar-plugin so I can ask exact questions that might be a problem for us?
