Title: RE: [cdt-dev] Build model proposal

Agreed, we need the UI also. I think Alain's point was simply that the core and the UI need to be separated into distinct packages, in keeping with the general architecture of Eclipse.

Hi!

Fair enough, but if you are only looking at the model, you are ignoring
the biggest focus of an IDE: the UI. I can get access to C compilers
without an UI already and I don't have to run a JVM to get it.

Contributed toolchains without contributed UI's to configure the tools
are useless in an IDE.

Thanks!

What if we wanted to build a headless version? :-)

What's a compiler without the UI to configure the switches for the
compiler?

Thanks!
