RE: [cdt-core-dev] build from source

[Diviya JAIN <diviya.jain@xxxxxx>]

I cannot have access to the CVS repository due to company policies. Hence I have been able to download only cdt source code from the download site. The problem is that I need to only slightly modify one file in cdt.core folder. 

What I did was that I imported cdt.core as a plugin project. This provided me with the plugin.xml etc files and .jar file. Then I added the src folder to this project and linked it up with the source code I downloaded.

Now I deleted the original .jar file from the project and after making minor modifications to the code, I exported original .jar file of it. But when I do so, the build fails saying "cannot be build due to class path errors (incomplete or involved in cycle)".

I tried the same exercise with a different plugin cdt.debug.mi.core and it worked but is not working for cdt.core.

Can anyone suggest what may be the cause or if can suggest any better method given that I don't have access to cvs repository, and hence how to build the project from only .java files.

Thanking you,
Diviya jain

Your workspace include two types of plugins: those you take "as is" (you 
import them as a binary plugins to workspace) and those your are working 
at (these you download from CVS, keep as a source packages and are 
modifying according to your purpose). I'm not sure that you should 
modify CDT codes to reach your goals. There are different ways 
(extension points, subclassing) to change its behaviour according to 
your needs. Anyway, if you still going to modify CDT code, you shouldn't 
do anything special: as soon as you save modified code, Eclipse compiles 
it and places to the right location. After that you can run and debug it.
