Hi,
Sorry if this is hopelessly off topic ... I guess this forum is for experts.
I am intrigued by CDT and want to extend it to handle a package
management system I am using for C++ development (www.cmtsite.org).
After three days of searching, I have yet to find an up-to-date, clear,
concise introduction to this topic. There are many hints that it is
possible, but I really don't even know where to start.
Ideally, I would like a good text or website that documents some first
steps. For instance, I can't even figure out how to import CDT from the
CVS and run it as-is in the PDE (the tutorial at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/pde-ui-home/selfhos ting/selfhosting.html?view=co
is totally out of date).
Does anyone have suggestions?
cheers,

Helo, welcome to the club of lost noobie... The learning curve to learn
things in Eclipse can be very sharp at times. But fear not... it can be
done.
This is the reading list u should try.
The Eclipse documentation can be accessed http://help.eclipse.org
Below is a list of suggested reading for understanding plug-in development
Platform Plug-in Developer Guide
Plug-in Development Environment Guide
Testing applications
C/C++ Development User Guide
CDT Plug-in Developer Guide
(This is assuming u know JAVA, SWT already)
I started Eclipse plug-in development on 9Jan2008, and after 2 months at
HSR IFS, I am already extending Cute(C++ Unit Testing Easier)
2 excellent books to get your hands are
-Contributing to Eclipse (a bit dated, but explains culture)
-Eclipse building commercial-quality Plug-ins
