| [cdt-dev] CDT master now runs on Oxygen |
|
Hi all,
The target file for CDT on the master branch has been moved to use Oxygen. So, once you pull in that change, you will notice that your _test_ eclipse will now be Oxygen.
Our next release, CDT 9.3, will be based on Oxygen so it is good to start developing with that target right away.
I've personally been using Oxygen for months and have had no problems.
There are many cool things in it: https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.7/
Some of them I like (although there are many more): - Compare editors now offer a
button Swap Left and Right View. (Yeah!)
- The Switch Workspace and Restart menu items are now at the bottom of the File menu - Interactive popups like JDT's Quick Outline don't use the platform's tooltip colors any more - During
debugging, show the last method result observed during Step Into, Step
Over or Step Return
(CDT has it for step return and plans for the other steps) - Breakpoints can be triggers for enabling other breakpoints (not in CDT) - We can now tell the API tool that default methods added to interfaces is ok (Marc-Andre helped get this done) - Breakpoints are now visible in the Overview
Ruler by default. (not done for CDT) - PDE has added a new tool for debugging SWT layouts. To activate it, use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F9 from any window.
