Sergey,
You said
“Your use case is not representative of a regular CDT user. You can get the org.eclipse.cdt.ui.tests plugin from CDT git repository.”
Out of curiosity, what are the expected use cases of people who make use of the CDT SDK. I had thought that CDT SDK would be used for developing language
sensitive editors, refactoring tools, code analysis tools, etc. All of these tools look at the parsed representation of the C++ code – the AST DOM tree and us tool developers would like to examine the DOM tree to make sure we understand the structure for
a particular C++ construct.

Well, it turns out that the DOM AST Viewer is of great use for those who are writing code that traverses the AST.
I use it when I'm debugging my C++ reverse engineering tool that we use in-house.
So, I ask that you folks include it in the SDK distribution. After all, the SDK is to be used by C++ tool developers.
Your use case is not representative of a regular CDT user. You can get the org.eclipse.cdt.ui.tests plugin from CDT git repository.
