I would like to make a suggestion for extending the kind of projects
available for CDT.
The 2 types (standard and mangaged) are not flexible enough for targets
with complex builds. For instance, if the source files come from several
directories, not all of which share a root, then we would like to be able
to specify source files from any directory to be included in the build,
irrespective of what CDT thinks is the root location.
Example tree:
tree1
|--- src
|--- classesA
|--- classesB
tree2
|--- src
|--- classesC
|--- classesD
A build may want classes from each of these class directories, but not all
classes from any directory. And tree1 and tree2 may not necessarily share
a nearby root.
Also, I would not want the CDT project files to be in either tree1 or
tree2. In our case, we have a separate directory w/project subdirs to
contain the many targets and compilers. For consistency, we need all the
CDT project files to go there. For example:
projects
|--- gcc-linux
|--- gcc-solaris
|--- eclipse (CDT project files here)
Lastly, having any CDT project files in the eclipse workspace prevents the
source tree from being packaged w/all necessary project and configuration
files. All project files should be allowed to stay together in a
user-specified location. A user may have their eclipse workspace in a
different location, and so a simple extraction from the package (e.g., tar
or zip file) will not work.
These concepts of a project work for makefiles and for all other common
IDEs (Microsoft, Borland, some sourceforge IDEs I've looked at). Has there
been any discussion of or plans to provide CDT with this type of project
capability?

We work on several platforms, Windows, Linux clusters, solaris, and, are
planning for grid computing in the next several months. So, we need
several build configurations, and all must be easily "packaged", i.e., all
source and build files checked into CVS, as well as tar-able.
