Setup CDT for large scale dev team [message #204099] Mon, 05 November 2007 14:27

Hi,
I have to roll out Eclipse as main IDE for a team of >170 C++ developers
in our company, separated into 6 major projects, all working on Solaris.
What I need (and could not find any information on this) is some ind of
hierarchical preferences handling, like this:

1: global preferences (in Eclipse installation directory), which are
changed only by the administrator
2: project specific settings, which can override globals
3: user specific settings, which can override both

Lets say, the global setting for syntax coloring in CDT is red for
comments, but project X wants to have them green. So they must be able to
override the global setting. Now a user wants to have it pink, for all
projects he is working in. This has highest priority.

Is anything like that possible with Eclipse at all? Maybe I have to find
some workaround, like a special startup script that gathers prefs from
several places and merges it together into the user's workspace? But then,
how to separate the correct stuff that has been changed by the user inside
Eclipse, after he finishes his session?

Is this request so extraordinary? I couldn't find any information about
the setup in such an environment.

Even better would be if I could lock certain properties on level 1 or 2,
so that a user can not change them at all. This would be important for
project wide code formatting style (indentation width etc.) which must not
be changed by individuals.

If you have *any* links to information about Eclipse and CDT
administration in large scale software development teams, I would be more
than thankful!

Thanks in advance,
Abu
