Hi Jonah
Sorry I still don't understand.
Are you advocating a new streamlined CDT EPP, or an extension to
all EPPs? I'm not clear how a streamlined CDT debugger helps the
Modeling EPP unless it is a generic improvement to JDT.

Hi Ed,
I realized I didn't answer one of your questions - perhaps
your main one :-)
I expect a target user to only download the C/C++
Stand-alone debugger package as they are only interested in
that functionality.
Thanks
Jonah
Hi Ed,
I see the EPP project as bundling together Eclipse
projects in a useful way. For a while CDT has been doing
this too for the "stand-alone" C/C++ debugger. The
stand-alone C/C++ debugger is only the parts of the IDE
needed to provide C/C++ Debugging functionality. The
interface is therefore significantly simplified (only
Debug perspective, no projects or workspaces and a
simplified UI/CLI to the debug configurations). The
original design goal of the stand-alone C/C++ debugger was
to allow users to do the equivalent of "gdb name_of_exe"
but have a graphical interface. So users can (and have
been for a while with this package)
been able to do "cdtdebug -e name_of_exe" to immediately
start a debug session.
Here is a screenshot:
I hope that starts to answer your questions.

Hi
Could you please clarify.
I can see that a smaller Eclipse is useful for small
applications, but once you have an EPP why would you
want to add an additional smaller Eclipse?
Alternatively I can see that extra graphical UI could
be an asset to the debugger, but that seems like
nothing to do with EPP, rather a contribution to JDT
Debug.

Hello fellow EPP-devers,
For the last few years the
CDT project has been shipping a stripped down
Eclipse IDE with just a Debug perspective and some
new UI and command line elements. Having a
stripped down version has allowed users to have a
lighter weight graphical debugger based on Eclipse
CDT without using all the other aspects of Eclipse
for development.
We would like fellow EPP-devers to consider
hosting the Stand-alone debugger in EPP.
I have created Bug 548526 to
track this effort and have already done the work
of porting it over in this gerrit.
What is the process for taking this forward? I
suppose I would first like to float the idea here
to find out what you all think.
Thank you,
Jonah
