see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/cdt-home/developer/build/developingCDT.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project
for building CDT from cvs.
The java code of Spawner is under:
org.eclipse.cdt.core/
utils/org/eclipse/cdt/utils/spawner/Spawner.java
The Windows fragment(JNI C/C++ implementation):
org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32/
library/*.c
It is separated in two, code for a small executable call "starter.exe"
this allow us, especially for Java-1.3.x, to exec() external application without
the annoying DOS console terminal popping everywhere. And code for the JNI implementation
in libspawner.dll.
