Using SiLabs Simplicity Studio v4 (based on CDT), I am looking to break a static library project into multiple projects, and it's not clear to me how to do so in a user-friendly, collaborative, and maintainable way.
Goals
1. Automatically build dependencies (e.g. "Target_A - Debug" build config of TestAppProj depends on "Targets_ABC - Debug" build config of LibProj, such that when I build that config of TestAppProj, it first builds the specified config of LibProj)
2. Import/open the collection of projects together into the IDE, as a group
3. Automatically display the projects grouped together in the IDE upon import
4. When projects are added to or removed from the group by a collaborator, then all those changes should be automatically visible to everyone in the IDE after updating from source control
This is all super easy in Visual Studio; that's what "solutions" are for. How are users supposed to achieve this with an Eclipse-based IDE?
Apparently I can setup [1] in project properties --> C/C++ General --> Paths and Symbols --> References tab. This seems satisfactory.
I think I can do [2] (clunkily) from More Import Options... --> General --> Existing Projects into Workspace, with the "Search for nested projects" option. (But this is something that I want to make not configurable. Importing/opening the specified group of projects should be atomic.)
I can manually (not automatically) setup [3] for myself only (not collaborators) using working sets, but that doesn't get captured in source control, i.e. it doesn't attempt to do [4].
