Re: [cdt-dev] Removal of "New new Wizard"

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Marc-Andre. As I mentioned on the review, those classes have confused a few people, including myself.

It’s still a very open issue how bad our current new project wizard is. I’ve resorted to adding complete new wizards for Qt, Arduino, and CMake. I’m not sure that’s ideal or not. So far the only common thing I’ve found that I’ve needed is the ability to select templates. Toolchains are selected at build and launch time based on the active launch target, so I’ve been able to eliminate the need for the user to select that at project creation time. But it’s early days for that workflow (except Arduino which is getting some good mileage and it’s been very good).

Anyway, I’ll keep plugging away and see where it leads.

Doug.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Removal of "New new Wizard"

Hi,

I made a patch to remove a "new project" wizard prototype that never ended up being used in CDT. Some classes and extension points are public which makes this change API breaking so I'd like to give the chance to anyone who might be using this API to speak up before it is removed.

The patch is here: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/62051/

Thank you,
Marc-Andre
