Re: [cdt-dev] UX Discussion - New Project Wizard
|
For my arduino plugin I made a button to start my own project creation
wizard.
The problem for me was that the project types just didn't make sense to
me. That is probably due to lack of knowledge on my side but I guess I
won't be the only one.
Maybe having the wizard start by selecting by
-project type
-target platform
-target OS
....
Best regards
Jantje

In GNU ARM Eclipse Plug-ins (http://gnuarmeclipse.livius.net/blog/), most projects are for embedded applications, and fit in the 'bare metal images' category, but some are also usual static libraries. In the previous versions of the plug-in I aded new project types, but for the current version I decided to put all my templates (and I have some quite complicated ones, you can take a look at https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuarmeclipse/se/ci/master/tree/ilg.gnuarmeclipse.templates.stm/templates/stm32f4xx_exe_c_project/template.xml for a sample), in the 'Executable' type.
However, for the next version of the templates, I plan to expand configurability even further, and, when new projects are created, to allow the user to decide if all source files will be added to the current 'Executable' project, or will be grouped in separate libraries, automatically created and referred.
I guess this did not help much figure out what a project type should be...
The observation that we have 'templates organized into somewhat random categories' is probably quite valid.
