Re: [cdt-dev] Assembling product with CDT features

[Corbat Thomas <thomas.corbat@xxxxxx>]

Hi Milan

I don’t think there is a comprehensive list of features available in Eclipse CDT including a detailed description. Basically, for the core functionality of editing C/C++ code you just need the C/C++ Development Tools feature. If you check the update site of the current release [1], you will see all optional features installable for CDT hosted on eclipse.org, with a very brief description – usually, only a single sentence. I think if you have specific questions about a feature we might help here.

For assembling an IDE based on Eclipse CDT, I would suggest, you create a Product, containing all features you need/want from CDT and your own plug-ins. The FAQ might be a good starting point [2]. There is much more to this than just the five steps mentioned, but it's a reasonable starting point. However, I guess you already have such a Product. 

We at HSR are also developing an IDE based on Eclipse CDT. We bundle several of our own plug-ins with it. If you have specific questions regarding creating an Eclipse Product unrelated to CDT you can contact me directly.

Best Regards
Thomas

Subject: [cdt-dev] Assembling product with CDT features

Hello,
my question is not directly about development of CDT itself, but about development of application or RCP on top of CDT. We build IDE for supporting of our own toolchains and we use various CDT parts or features (feature groups) to actually assemble final product. The way the product is assembled is sort of inherited wisdom without actual knowledge why. My question is: What is the correct way to assemble such product if there should be full C/C++ development functionality (and not much more) plus our plugins? I'm mainly missing some comprehensive description of each CDT part (or feature group), so we could decide what is needed or useful for us. I'm not talking about direct compilation dependencies, but more about available features.

Thanks

   Milan Kubec
