[cdt-dev] HowTo replace "Empty project" template in MBS new project wizard
|
Hi all,
Im working on a plugin to support CMake based projects in CDT (also see
Bug 350206). The plugin introduces an additional project nature
"cmakeProjectNature" to be able to offer special actions to CMake projects
only, like running CMake, cleaning the cache etc.
Unfortunately, I failed to replace the "Empty Project" entry in MBS added
here: org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.wizards.ManagedBuildWizard.java
As long as I create a new project from a template, my processType
(org.eclipse.cdt.core.templateProcessTypes) gets called, which adds
cmakeProjectNature to the new project. But if the user creates an "Empty
Project" out of the same category (defined by buildProperty
"buildArtefactType"), the process is not called and therefore does not
include cmakeProjectNature.
I have two questions:
- Is this the right way to add project natures (as it depends on a custom
processType)?
- What is the recommended way to overload/replace the Empty Project
template for my buildArtefactType?
I see, that autotools work around this by supplying parts of the new
project wizard themselfs and somehow keep the autotools buildArtefactType
(org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.core.buildArtefactType.autotools)
out of the MBS new project wizard part. The "Empty Project" entry always
added in ManagedBuildWizard.java is omitted this way, and another Empty
Project entry provided by autotools is presented by the autotools wirads
instead. But this looks unneccessary complicated to me, as I can handle
all other project templates as desired with my processType.
best regards
Martin
