Re: [cdt-dev] Introduction

my "strategy" would be to support anything you can do with CMake.
Otherwise, its not CMake support IMO. My ideal would be to somehow
adapt the CMake object model to the eclipse-internal object model, as
CLion seems to be doing it. QtCreator also handles CMake seamlessly. I
wouldn't want to go through some json file that is output by CMake,
but rather directly access their classes.

That would be interesting. Though CMake is written in C++ which would make
it pretty hard to use their classes directly. That’s why we propose using
the current json, with any future enhancements, as an interchange format.
But if you think you can put something together, that would be interesting.

the C++/Java mismatch is not much of an issue, I'd take care of that. What I do not understand well is the CDT architecture / build model. So if you could give me some guidance where and how to integrate, I'd tackle this. I do understand eclipse extensions/extension points/schemas - it's just the CDT stuff I am not familiar with.
