[linux-distros-dev] Autotools Eclipse Plug-in 0.0.8 released

What is the Autotools Plug-in?
------------------------------

The Autotools plug-in project was created to enable maintenance of GNU Autotool'd C/C++ projects under Eclipse. The following features are added in addition to CDT functionality:

  - perform configuration and keep results in separate console
  - user-specified configuration parameters
  - special editors for Autoconf and Automake files
  - direct access to configuration tools (autoconf/automake/aclocal)
  - GNU Autotool documentation and hover help

Future enhancements will include wizards to help in creating and enhancing configuration files.

What has changed since the last release?
----------------------------------------

Autotools enhancements include outline view and parsing support for configure.in and configure.ac files in the Autoconf editor, plus some minor bug fixes.

Where can I get this?
---------------------

The source tarball can be found at:

md5sum: 6f9452ece766ef0b676942cd863c2c31

The Autotools plug-in currently requires some patches applied to the CDT to run. These patches are included in the source tarball in the cdtpatches subdirectory. See the README in the cdtpatches directory for details.

The current sources can be checked out directly from CVS at:
