Hi all,
I finally managed to add the new Scanner Discovery to CDT
Juno M7, just in time for the feature freeze. It took the work
well, well over my initial expectations and changes to more
parts of CDT than I apprehended. Made me learn many useful
things in CDT and eclipse plugin development in general though.
Please take a look and test before it is too late to do changes
to Juno.
The new functionality (i.e. appropriate set of Language
Settings Providers) is added automatically to configurations
during project creation by New Project Wizard (replacing old
Scanner Discovery). There is a new property page "Preprocessor
Include Paths, Macros etc." in project properties where one can
inspect/edit the providers and their entries. It is also
possible to disable the new functionality and keep using older
Scanner Discovery - for those already invested in it - in
Preferences, "Property Page Settings".
Obviously I do not have any user documentation at this point,
the UI is supposed to be intuitive. If not really, I appreciate
any suggestions to that end.
For ISV, it should be feasible now to add include paths and
macros for the indexer with the new API. The JavaDoc is pretty
detailed.
If there are any questions, please use the mailing list. If
there are bugs or improvements need to be done, please file
bugs in Bugzilla. The UI is kind of abbreviated in some parts,
I haven't got time to iron all corners.
For the next few weeks, I will have only occasional access
to internet and may not respond fast or fix bugs but I will
eventually get to it.
Thanks,
Andrew
