| [cdt-dev] Launch Bar update |
|
Hey gang,
As we rush towards M7, it’s time to make some difficult decisions on what I can deliver for then. In particular, I had hoped to have enough time to get the CDT remote launch over org.eclipse.remote target management in place by then. But as I planned it
out, I realized that we don’t actually officially support any remote toolchains. If you can’t build the thing you want to launch, that’s a problem.
I’ve started working on a toolchain for Raspberry Pi which would give us that, but work on that pushes back other things. And I still have serial port and oe.remote work to do. So I don’t expect to have the remote launch ready for Mars. I will aim for
SR-1 with that.
Also, without remote launch, it makes a lot less sense to include the Launch Bar in the C/C++ IDE package. I think it will just be confusing to people. And I want to get more feedback on it before thrusting it before unsuspecting users.
My plan now is to release it in Mars on the release train but not include it in the packages. I will create an Eclipse Marketplace entry for it so people can easily install it and try it out. It will also be a dependency of the Arduino CDT feature so if
people install that, they’ll get it. I’ll be creating a Marketplace entry for the Arduino CDT feature as well.
Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
Doug.
