[ptp-dev] EMS project proporties page

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First some terminology:

Build config - This is the toolchain and other build related information used by CDT projects. There is an active build config that is use when the "Build" button is selected.

Sync config - This is the host and directory that a project will use for synchronization. There is an active sync config that is used when any auto sync takes place, or when "Sync Active Now" is selected from the context menu.

EMS - The environment management system that provides the capability of modifying the user's remote environment using tools such as "modules".

Currently the EMS properties page is located under the C/C++ Build properties. This made sense previously because the active build config was used to manage both where the build took place and the active sync config of the project. Since the EMS is used when building the project, the settings were related to each build config. In the new setup, the sync config is independent of the build config; a project will always built on the host specified by the active sync config, so the EMS properties have no connection to the build config at all. As a consequence, I'd like to move the EMS properties out of the C/C++ Build properties to the top level.

If anyone has any concerns or comments about this, please let me know.
