RE: [cdt-debug-dev] CDT and RCP
|
It depends on what you mean I guess...
We borrow way too many things from the platform to have a proper IDE without them. E.g. concepts of projects, builders, debuggers, etc., and also nice GUI things such as perspectives, all come from the platform. You don't get that with the RCP subset of the platform.
That being said, we've talked about making certain parts of CDT (e.g. debugger, build) able to be run headless. If some day we follow through with that, then in theory someone could maybe build an RCP-like app on top of those components (although you'd still need a few more bits of the platform than stock RCP).
It's a nice idea, but speaking realistically, given how few people we have committing on CDT right now, the likelihood of this happening any time soon is pretty much nil.
