| [dsdp-tm-dev] CDT Launch Integration |
Hello,
One of our goals we had talked
about in the Chicago meeting, was that we wanted to create a CDT Launch
Integration for the RSE.
That integration should originally live
in the CDT. However, now that our project plan turned out to culminate in a
release in September, which is a bit after the CDT release, this doesn’t seem
practical any more.
Therefore, I suggest to create the CDT Launch
Integration as part of the RSE Examples, in our repository.
Having it in the examples shields us from a hard dependency to the CDT; and,
taking into account that our Launch Integration would most typically be used as
the blueprint for vendor-specific Launches much more than being of genuine use
on its own, even more warrants its living in the examples.
It's time now
to tackle this goal.
Dave's (at IBM): You showed
an RSE-based Launch at the Toronto meeting.
Could you please look into
contributing the most basic structure of this Launch as an RSE example,
such that the CDT users among us can build on it and enhance it.
I think
the most basic structure would essentially be
the LaunchConfigurationTab that holds the dropdown
for selecting an RSE Connection, and the dropdown itself. I guess
that a "blank" LaunchConfigurationDelegate which just holds the constants
for storing connection data should suffice - we won't need any
code for actually launching an IBM debugger, though this might
be helpful for understanding the debugger launching.
Ken
and Ewa: You seem to be the two from our group, which are
most exposed to the CDT. Have you started experimenting with the RSE
yet?
Given that you get a Launch blueprint from the Dave's, could
you extend this to do something useful, with a remote gdbserver
for instance? - I guess that all you'd need from the already
selected connection would be the remote computer's IP address which
should be easy to obtain.
If somehow possible, I'd like to have a
first version of the CDT Launch Example available with our M1
milestone, which is April 7 or two weeks after EclipseCon.
Does
that sound realistic?
Thanks,
Martin
