Subject: Re: [cdt-dev] Make Targets UI change

+1 for adding them to the Project Explorer, I think this is fairly obvious to users, however:

Yeah, this should have been done a long time ago, but anyway…

-1/4 (i.e not full objection, but slight objection) for removing the Make Target View from C Perspective.  Reason is that the context of Make view is quite different from Project Explorer, especially if you have Link With Editor selected. 

It’s there for people who still need it (and when upgrading workspaces, it won’t be removed). I think for the vast majority, people are likely confused by it since you generally don’t need Make Targets when building CDT projects. Luckily the Outline view has hid it since forever so it doesn’t really get in the way.

Though if there’s mass outrage, I will leave it. :).

Hey gang,

I’ve been doing some work on a QNX BSP which uses Make Targets. I eventually got really annoyed that they are in a separate view and not in the Project Explorer.

So, as it turns out, the Common Navigator Framework makes this pretty easy and I’d like to contribute it in 9.1. As part of this, I plan on removing the Make Target View from the CPerspective default layout. I won’t delete the View in case someone really wants it. But once you see Build Targets (I renamed them too since they aren’t really tied to Make), you won’t want to go back :).

Let me know if you have concerns. Here’s a sneak peek. Still some workflow issues to work out before I commit it. Should be done by end of day or tomorrow.

Doug.
