Re: [cdt-debug-dev] CDT and RCP

[John Cortell <john.cortell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Øyvind, strange timing. We've just recently been asked to
pursue the same thing--selectively provide our Eclipse-based debugging
solution in a manner which is stripped of all the non-debugger aspects.
The reasoning is that there are development shops out there that are set
in their ways with regards to a build environment, be it MAKE, another
IDE, or whatever. They want to use our product as a debugger, not as an
IDE, and they don't want to step-around the complexity and clutter of
build features and views that they have no interest in using. 

So, you're not alone  :-)  I'll be interested in hearing your
progress on this effort.
