Why installing RC4 I noticed that names and descriptions of some of the optional CDT features are very confusing. Here are few examples:
CDT Utilities
The purpose of this feature is completely unclear and the Details section doesn't provide any useful information.
Eclipse C/C++ Development Platform
The Details section says: "Eclipse C/C++ Development Platform. It contains no toolchain integrations.". How is it different from Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools in CDT Main Features?
Eclipse C/C++ DSF gdb Debugger IntegrationHow is it different from CDT GNU Toolchain Debug Support?
Eclipse CDT Testing FeatureIt's not clear from the name or Details section what this feature is for. A user may think that the feature supports development of C/C++ tests.
Eclipse Debugger for C/C++It's not clear from the name or Details section what this feature is for. The description should say that this is an alternative to DSF gdb.
Names of features is inconsistent:- Some names start from "Eclipse C/C++", some from "CDT", some don't mention Eclipse of CDT at all.
- Some features have word "Feature" in their names, some don't.
Now it seems to be a good time to clean this mess up. Any objections? I would appreciate if somebody can answer my questions above.
