Hey gang, as I was putting together my
slides for EclipseCon, I occasionally like to bring up the
forum post from John Duimovich, the Tools PMC lead, that
announced the changes QNX was bringing to the CDT project, the
birth of the new CDT project.
CDT started out as this remote development
thing built by the mainframe tools team at IBM, with the
remote parts of that evolving into RSE. With the reboot of the
project, QNX brought what we have today, essentially a JDT
look alike that added C/C++-things like calling ‘make’ to do
builds and a gdb integration called CDI.
Below is link and excerpt of that post.
What hit me now was that happened in the summer of 2002. That
makes CDT officially 15 years old! Happy Anniversary CDT!
Huge thanks to everyone who’ve helped us
over those years grow this thing into the best industry
leading community built C/C++ IDE we all know and love.
I have to give a special thanks to the
original team that started it here at QNX, some are still at
the company, some moved on, and to Sebastien Marineau who was
our first project lead and a great community builder who I
still struggle to live up to 😊.
And a huge thanks to everyone who is
helping today and are thinking of coming on board to help us
take CDT into the next 15 years. It doesn’t happen without
you!

The Eclipse Tools PMC is
pleased to announce some exciting developments to the CDT
project hosted on eclipse.org. First, QNX will be
contributing some C/C++ core technology from their recently
announced product to eclipse.org. We believe that this will
enhance the value of the technology hosted on eclipse.org
and bring some industrial strength technology into the CDT
project.
In addition, the
Eclipse Tools PMC has been working on getting additional
cross-company project participation on the C/C++ project
(www.eclipse.org/cdt). There has been lot of interest from
many of the eclipse member companies and the community at
large on this project and we've been working with many of
them in helping them get involved with the C/C++ project at
eclipse.org.
As part of this
additional participation we're excited to be able to
announce that there is a new project leader, Sebastien
Marineau from QNX who has agreed to lead the C/C++ IDE (CDT)
project on Eclipse.org. In his role as project leader, there
will be a re-plan of the V2.0 CDT deliverables to include
the new technology.
