Re: [cdt-dev] Note: API addition in DSF

[Axel Müller <aegges@xxxxxx>]

Seems like I have to implement something similar to Expressions.java in EDC 
(which is rather longish! Do I need all of this?).

e.g.
public class MICastToArray extends AbstractDsfService implements IExpressions2
in org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb/src/org/eclipse/cdt/dsf/mi/service

But how (and where) do I register the service? Or should I extend 
MIExpressions?

A lot of questions...

Perhaps these questions seems to be silly but I am still a freshman with 
respect to to the Eclipse interns (and terminology).
