[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] CDT breaks Web Tools Editors

[Ichthyostega <Ichthyostega@xxxxxx>]

Hello all,

The current *developement* line of CDT (either 3.1.1 or 4.0.0) causes a SWT bug and thus breaks
the Structured Text editors of the Web Tools, i.e. the HTML, XML, JavaScript and CSS editors.

This Exception appears whenever you try to create/open some of this Editor windows.

"so why can't you use the stable CDT"...?
There is a rather serious problem: The current stable doesn't handle *.C files correctly in
C++ projects as C++ source. This completely defeats the search feature (F3 and ctr-F3), which
is absolutely vital in larger projects. So this problem should be considered high priority!

See the following Bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132201


Is it possible to
  - either backport this fix to the current stable
  - or get the dev-line to coexist with the Web Tools?

thanks,
