| Re: [cdt-dev] New CDT -> Launchbar dependency in 9.0m6 |

Hi Sergey, My workflow was this: 1.
Install eclipse-SDK-4.6M6*.zip 2.
Help > Install New Software, point to the CDT Neon M6 site, install the “C/C++ Development Tools” feature I got launchbar.core (as a dependency of o.e.cdt.build.core) but not the launchbar.ui –
supposedly because nobody requested the launchbar feature but only bundle dependency in MANIFEST.MF ? Which is OK for me if, as Marc said, the launchbar.ui remains optional. Doug, when I understand you right the dependency
o.e.cdt.gnu.build.feature -> o.e.cdt.build.core is undesired ? And, what does it mean for your “new build” features if an IDE just has launchbar.core so respective data is likely never populated ? Thanks, Martin -- Martin Oberhuber, SMTS / Product Owner – Development Tools,

On Behalf Of Sergey Prigogin Please notice that launchbar.core and launchbar.ui are packaged as a single feature. This means that you always get launchbar.ui, whether you want it or not. -sergey On Thu, Mar 24, 2016 at 9:22 PM, Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Different plugins in CDT now have a dependency on launchbar.core.

I think installation of the zip will require the simrel repo, as you mention, like other CDT dependencies, but that should be it. In you case, you can just add the dependency to you target file. I don't believe we announce new dependencies in any official way usually. But I guess new dependencies in fundamental CDT plugins don't happen very often either. I
think the launchbar is one of those rare cases. BR, From: "Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
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.group à org.eclipse.cdt.build.gcc.core 1.0.0 à 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 !
