| [cdt-dev] Target file for API baseline |
|
Hello,
There is a cdt-baseline.target file that can be used to set your API baseline. I have mentioned this before but perhaps it is not very well known. This file currently corresponds to the 8.8 baseline which you can use as a baseline if you use Eclipse 4.5 for your development. It's under the org.eclipse.cdt.target project. The "Getting started" [1] and Policy [2] pages has been updated to reflect this. The advantage with using this is that you don't have to install a separate Eclipse and install the CDT features in order to define your API baseline. So this saves quite a bit of time when setting up Eclipse for working on CDT. Also, when the baseline changes, you don't need to go and update your separate installation manually. Instead, you can refresh the baseline in the preferences and it will download the new baseline for you (although this could be even more automatic, see bug 479055).
