Hi all

I just discovered eclipse this weekend. While I immediatly got familiar
with the JDT (i'm using visual age since several years... so it was
basicly
a "welcome home") I had a rather hard time while playing around with CDT.

Call me a moron, but I wasn't able to figure out how to add a new class to
the project... Another anoying things is, that when selecting a method in
the object-browser, it alsways jumps to the declaration of the method. I
couldn't find a way to toggle between declaration and implementation.

I know CDT is in a very early stage, and I realy admire the work already
done. I think CDT can get "the killer ide" in just a few month...

regards
Marco

What manner of class are you considering. Is this a C++ class? If so
just create a new file and enter the code - or am I teaching gransmothers
and is your problem different?

David,

thx for your reply

after writing my post, i just decteted the "add file" on the project
window ;)
Anyway, I think it would be nice the have a little wizard to add a new
(C++)
class (similar to the JDT) where you can specify base class and all that
stuff,
because i care about objects and not about files...

as i already mentioned.... very promising....

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the comments...

1. A Class SmartGuide is on our todo list (Code Generation Tools/SmartGuides)
which actually means that it probably won't make it into our R1 release
targetted for the end of March or the R2 release targetted for the end of April.
However after April we will be prioritizing outstanding features\requests. In
the meantime, we would love to talk to any "volunteers" who wish to get that
work started.

2. The confusion between function definition\declaration is well known. For
the R1 release some work is being done to give the user access to both the
definition and declaration. In the longer term it is likely that some re-design
will take place (hopefully directed by comments from users) that will address
this and other issues related to objects and scoping (namespaces, member
variables and functions, etc). Before any work in this direction is done, a RFC
will be made available so that we can solicit some debate and varied opinions.

Thanks...

Jeff Turnham
