RE: [cdt-dev] API breakage on 5.0.x

["Schorn, Markus" <Markus.Schorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

API tooling is already set up for the plugins 'org.eclipse.cdt.core' and 'org.eclipse.cdt.ui'. All you need to do is define

the base-line, which is trivial:

 

(1) create a directory that contains the cdt 5.0.0 + platform 3.4 plugins (I downloaded the ganymede cpp-package).

(2) In preferences (Plug in Development - API Baselines) define the baseline by pointing to this directory.

 

Screenshots on how to do that are here:

Is there a way to enable the API tooling by default. To be honest I haven't looked at the API tooling yet so am a complete newbie. Maybe at the next conf call we can get a demo/introduction to it?

Hi Sergey,

with your recent check-in you have caused an API breakage on the cdt_50 branch.

Please enable API tooling to catch such errors by yourself.

 

I will continue to write emails about these issues until either all of us defined their baseline

(it's really easy!) or there is a formal decision that we don't want to care about breakages

like that.

 

Markus.

 

 

To make the tooling work in your workspace, you need to define a baseline:
Preferences - Plugin Development - API Baselines.

You can use any installation with CDT 5.0 installed, I use the Ganymede CDT-package.
