Linux Tools Project

Screenshot of Linux Tools projects

The Linux Tools project aims to bring a full-featured C and C++ IDE to Linux developers. We build on the source editing and debugging features of the CDT and integrate popular native development tools such as the GNU Autotools, Valgrind, OProfile, RPM, Systemtap, etc. Current projects include Autotools build integration, a Valgrind heap usage analysis tool, and an OProfile call profiling tool. In the future we hope to expand into the area of tracing tools.

The project also provides a place for Linux distributions to collaboratively overcome issues surrounding distribution packaging of Eclipse technology. The project produces both best practices and tools related to packaging. One of our future goals in this area is to provide a source archive of the Eclipse SDK that can be used by all Linux distributions building and distributing it.
