And, of course, feedback is appreciated. We need to make to
this work for everyone.

Hey gang, I spent the last day or so prototyping some
ideas. My thinking as I mentioned in an other thread is
to practice on the Arduino CDT plug-in and it’s build
and launch environment.
The experiment I’m trying is how much can I do
without the CDT managed builder plugins. The theory
being, I should be able to build a new build system
directly on the CDT core. It forces the new system to be
minimal.
It also undoes a huge wrong that I and a few others
feel happened when we introduced the managed build
system changes back in 2006. We’ve essentially forced
all build systems to be built on the CDT managed build
system. For simple cases where all you’re doing is
calling make, you really don’t need all that complexity
and it’s pretty overwhelming to get things working.
Anyway, I’m gathering notes on the wiki page as I go
through the exercise.

I’ve also added some things that were missing from the
Designs section, like how to hook up to launch
configurations, an important consideration in the launch
bar era.
