[ptp-dev] FDT doesn't build a complete CDT

[Beth Tibbitts <tibbitts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Craig,
the instructions for building FDT in the release plan at
http://eclipse.org/ptp/docs/plan.html doesn't tell you to check out a
complete set of files for CDT - probably just what you need to apply the
changes to.  In particular it's missing the doc plugins, which silently
made our MPI helper plugin fail and not load the help files for the F1
execution.
I have added a dependency for that plugin on our side, but there may be
other parts of CDT missing as well.

You can't apply your changes to the cdt source from the SDK download,
because if you import the plugins as source projects, the src folders are
named "src-jarname" instead of just "src" and your install script doesn't
find them.  So we need a way to ensure we are building a complete CDT.

So, add to Craig's instructions for building FDT in
http://eclipse.org/ptp/docs/plan.html (bottom of the file),
Add under step 1.  check out the following CDT components from
dev.eclipse.org:/home/tools
and get the plugins under org.eclipse.cdt-doc  as well!    (Just the 'user'
project is enough for me, but the 'isv' one may be used elsewhere.)

P.S. Our MPI plugins work in FDT just fine, when used for C programs.
