Re: [cdt-dev] New plugins for the make builder
|
David,
That all sounds great. Just so I am clear,

So, the cbuilder will be associated with the new standard make nature, not
the cnature, right?

Don't forget the paths and symbols tab (or whatever equivalent you want to
provide). We added that because the scanner clients require it from all
builders.
> - move make view to new plugins
If you mean the CView, this decision has me stumped. What's the motivation
for moving this file out of the internal UI package? Will other builder
suppliers potentially replace this view? What's the mechanism for
replacing it?

Stupid question, but you aren't thinking about changing the
org.eclipse.cdt.core.CommandLauncher API to accommodate these new options,
right?

I am potentially very happy. How does this jive with what Gene Sally has
done so far?

Great plan. If I might add one suggestion, we could reduce the
out-of-the-box pain for users if the new project wizard for the standard
builder generated a skeletal makefile with 'all' and 'clean' targets
defined. Ping me if you want to discuss stuff further.
