Has anyone tried to approve node? I thought Cordova gave that a go but failed. Or was that specific to Cordova?

We're exactly discussing this right now with Gorkem on the #eclipse-dev IRC channel ;)
Since the goal is not to ship Node, the dependency is a bit similar to the one CDT has on external compilers and debuggers. Do you know what IP trick CDT uses to work with CDT ? I believe the dependency to node, or Bower, or Cordova CLI are similar. It's relying on an OSS binary that's meant to be already available on user's workstation.
Also, does CDT provide wizards to suggest installation of GCC ?
