CProjectWizard Question [message #47778]

Howdy!

I was looking through the code and ran across something that I found
interesting. CProjectWizard extends BasicNewResourceWizard. At the same
time, the documentation for BasicNewResourceWizard says "This class is not
intended to be subclassed outside this package." Why is CProjectWizard a
subclass of BasicNewResourceWizard rather than a user of either
BasicNewResourceWizard or BasicNewProjectResourceWizard?

I'm not questioning the design decision, I'm just curious the rationale
for it. We are considering using eclipse and I'm looking at the CDT as an
example of a serious plugin development effort and seeing where things had
to be stretched from the published API.

Thanks!

I would guess that its usage stemmed from how its used by other eclipse
plugins, the JDT and juint plugins both use it in the same manner.
