Re: [cdt-dev] CDT master now runs on Oxygen

Hi all,


The target file for CDT on the master branch has been moved to use Oxygen.

So, once you pull in that change, you will notice that your _test_ eclipse will

now be Oxygen.


Our next release, CDT 9.3, will be based on Oxygen so it is good to start

developing with that target right away.


I've personally been using Oxygen for months and have had no problems.


There are many cool things in it:

Some of them I like (although there are many more):

Compare editors now offer a button Swap Left and Right View. (Yeah!)

The Switch Workspace and Restart menu items are now at the bottom of the File menu

Interactive popups like JDT's Quick Outline don't use the platform's tooltip colors any more

The tooltip business is still work in progress :-). But good progress was made:

But hopefully by end of Oxygen, most hovers should be readable again on linux.

- During debugging, show the last method result observed during Step IntoStep Over or Step Return (CDT has it for step return and plans for the other steps)

- Breakpoints can be triggers for enabling other breakpoints (not in CDT)

- We can now tell the API tool that default methods added to interfaces is ok (Marc-Andre helped get this done)

- Breakpoints are now visible in the Overview Ruler by default. (not done for CDT)

PDE has added a new tool for debugging SWT layouts. To activate it, use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F9 from any window.



BR,

Marc
