| Re: [cdt-dev] New CDT -> Launchbar dependency in 9.0m6 |
The new build system depends on the launch bar, launch targets in particular so we know what target to build for, but the new build system should be optional. Let me check when I get into the office.

Hi CDT Gang,
We noticed that since CDT 9.0m6 , there is a new dependency on the LaunchBar which broke our builds [1] since our target platform wasn’t prepared to pull in the LaunchBar:
· org.eclipse.cdt.feature.feature.group
è org.eclipse.cdt.gnu.build.feature.groupà org.eclipse.cdt.build.gcc.core 1.0.0à org.eclipse.launchbar.core 2.0.0
This rises some questions:
1. Is this dependency actually necessary? I thought that Launchbar was supposed to be optional.
2. UI: can you confirm that launchbar UI will remain optional for CDT in 9.x ?
3. Dependency: cdt-9.0m6a.zip doesn’t include launchbar.core, so how are “stand-alone users” supposed to install CDT now ?
o Simrel apparently pulls it form http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/launchbar/neon.m6 , can this be included in future Milestone Announcements ?
4. Namespace: Has the “org.eclipse.launchbar” namespace been agreed on with simrel ?
To be clear, we appreciate all the usability work going into the CDT recently. But unfortunately the Launchbar
conflicts with our product approach for maintaining remote connections, so it’s really important for us
that the Launchbar UI remains optional for the CDT.
Looking forward to your input !
