| Re: [epp-dev] Migrate CDT Strand-alone Debugger product to EPP? |
_______________________________________________Hi Jonah
Sorry I still don't understand.
Are you advocating a new streamlined CDT EPP, or an extension to all EPPs? I'm not clear how a streamlined CDT debugger helps the Modeling EPP unless it is a generic improvement to JDT.

Hi Ed,
I realized I didn't answer one of your questions - perhaps your main one :-)
I expect a target user to only download the C/C++ Stand-alone debugger package as they are only interested in that functionality.
ThanksJonah

Hi Ed,
I see the EPP project as bundling together Eclipse projects in a useful way. For a while CDT has been doing this too for the "stand-alone" C/C++ debugger. The stand-alone C/C++ debugger is only the parts of the IDE needed to provide C/C++ Debugging functionality. The interface is therefore significantly simplified (only Debug perspective, no projects or workspaces and a simplified UI/CLI to the debug configurations). The original design goal of the stand-alone C/C++ debugger was to allow users to do the equivalent of "gdb name_of_exe" but have a graphical interface. So users can (and have been for a while with this package) been able to do "cdtdebug -e name_of_exe" to immediately start a debug session.
Here is a screenshot:
I hope that starts to answer your questions.

Could you please clarify.
I can see that a smaller Eclipse is useful for small applications, but once you have an EPP why would you want to add an additional smaller Eclipse?
Alternatively I can see that extra graphical UI could be an asset to the debugger, but that seems like nothing to do with EPP, rather a contribution to JDT Debug.

Hello fellow EPP-devers,
For the last few years the CDT project has been shipping a stripped down Eclipse IDE with just a Debug perspective and some new UI and command line elements. Having a stripped down version has allowed users to have a lighter weight graphical debugger based on Eclipse CDT without using all the other aspects of Eclipse for development.
We would like fellow EPP-devers to consider hosting the Stand-alone debugger in EPP.
I have created Bug 548526 to track this effort and have already done the work of porting it over in this gerrit.
What is the process for taking this forward? I suppose I would first like to float the idea here to find out what you all think.
Thank you,Jonah
