RE: [cdt-core-dev] New Parser

["Schaefer, Doug" <dschaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Thomas,

The more code snippets we can get into JUnit tests the better.  I'm still
waiting for committer rights to allow us to start plugging tests into
cdt.ui.tests.  We'll probably create a new source folder there to take
advantage of 2.1's new capability to launch all tests in a folder.

Doug,

  Let me know since I have a number of different code snippets which 
would cause the previous parser to
blow huge chunks.  I'll talk to Peter as well about where you guys are 
stashing these JUnit tests for now.

Thanks,
  Thomas
