Subject: [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
