Re: [cdt-dev] Are managed projects a requirement/recommendation or the new build system is enough?

It required a MBS.prj.

Yes, you created a MBS project: ' CMake driven' hooks it in as the build-
script-generator for MBS.

It *is* MBS.

It is CDT cmake support w/o MBS.

Well, after 7 year of driving through CDT code base: It depends on being a
masochist or not :-)
IMHO, managedBuildNature is doomed due to not attracting new committers. Run a
code metrics analyser of your choice on the source; then check the 'percentage
of documented public API' metric and think yourself.
