Hey gang,
There is a current request,
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=500768,
which has the intention of bring the org.eclipse.remote target
management system and the Terminal plug-ins together under a
single project. The idea is to make Terminal the official
terminal for o.e.remote connections, and make o.e.remote the
standard (but not only) connection technology for the
Terminals.
My fear is that the originally proposed
home in the TM project is about to collapse. As such, I’d like
to bring them under the CDT umbrella. C/C++ developers these
days deal mainly with remote systems, either embedded
development boards or big iron servers. Target Management has
always been a desired feature of the CDT (we even had a
proposal at one time to build such a system until DSDP came
along and that’s a good story on its own). IMHO, it’s time to
bring target management home and give it and CDT some much
needed energy.
My proposal as listed on the bug is to
bring the two git repos and all related artifacts for these
components under the ownership and responsibility of the CDT.
We still need to reach agreement with the projects involved,
but before I do that, I’d like to see if anyone on the Tools
PMC objects.
Thanks!
Doug.
