Speaking as a vendor using Eclipse as the basis of tools, this is
exactly the kind of thing that I want the Eclipse community to fix. The
alternative is that every vendor creates a different solution, resulting
in fragmentation of the user experience. For common functionality, I
want a common solution, as this is a benefit in reduced training time,
less surprises for an end user, and less development and testing time
for me. My engineers should be focused on my value adds, not on fix-up
of platform omissions for my own distributions. Bug fixes and
enhancements created by my team that benefit the community should be
contributed and integrated into the platform - exactly this case.

Hi Wieant,

My original opinion was very similar to yours, thinking that this is
something the ISV's can fix up.

But then, there are also LOTS of CDT users who take the verbatim free
stuff off Eclipse.org -- lots of students, or private programmers. While
agree that Eclipse is a famework for ISV's, I think that it's equally
important to serve the vanilla user community since that's how the
Community grows.

Also, remember that I've originally seen this problem when trying to
create a "CDT Standard Makefile project" which is not necessarily
related to GNU at all, so just fixing up the GNU templates is not
sufficient IMHO.

Cheers,
