Hello Jonah,
We should reflect this fact in bugzilla:
1) make cdt-arduino component unavailable for new records
2) close all the active records with notice that we recommend
Sloeber

Hello folks,
I am now working on the actual removal of Arduino from
CDT: Bug 562498.
If you are an Arduino CDT user I have updated the marketplace entry to recommend Sloeber to get the goodness of
CDT with Arduino.
After exchanging impressions around Arduino and CDT with
Jan, Liviu and Johan I have the following suggestion to go
forward:
- CDT continues to concentrate on "platform" things, i.e.
on improving CDT capabilities to be extended for particular
hardware family like Arduino.
- Sloeber formulates/contributes the new
extensions/capabilities to the CDT/Platform to reduce effort
duplication and focus on Arduino-specific things.
- CDT removes Arduino-related parts that duplicates
Sloeber, and provides discovery hooks to simplify Sloeber
installation for C/C++ package if user is looking for
Arduino support.
This will be hardly possible without transparent and open
collaboration between all of us: let's use this mailing list
and bugzilla to discuss technical details .
Regards,
AF

Hi Jonah,
This New Year gift is quite huge :)
I'll try to sort out what is going on there. If you can
introduce me to Liviu and/or Jan that would be very
helpful.
Regards,
AF
P.S.
It's exciting to know that famous "GNU MCU Plug-ins" goes
under Eclipse Foundation umbrella!

Hi Alexander,
Excellent - I don't want to deprecate/delete
stuff that has a reasonable chance of being
maintained in the future. Would you like to take
over managing the Marketplace entry for Arduino - it
was last updated for CDT 9.3 https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-c-ide-arduino
There are a few other TODOs that need someone to
run point on:
- reaching to Jan Baeyens to figure out
if Sloeber (https://github.com/Sloeber/arduino-eclipse-plugin)
and CDT communities can work better together. The
Sloeber plug-ins are still actively maintained based
on the commit history, but I don't know current
state/thoughts from Jan.
- Resolve where Arduino plug-ins should live
going forward - with the new iot.ecdt project (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/iot.ecdt -
formerly GNU MCU Plug-ins) there is an overlap of
embedded toolchain management.
- Reviewing/triaging Arduino bugs as they come in
(bugzilla search link)
Do we need to hurry with the decision? I don't
think the Arduino support code is something
specific from the quality perspective to be
deprecated above all :) Especially if people are
still interested to use it.
I suggest to think about the component lifecycle
from the SimRel perspective:
- incubation (not yet in the SimRel)
- mature (a part of SimRel)
- legacy (already out of SimRel)
- retired (no downstream, archived)
As far as I know there is a plan to have more
strict checks for SimRel contributions. And as a
result there will be a diffusion between "mature"
and "legacy" sets of components.
And yes, I plan to touch the Arduino set of
bundles as well, but this is not in the top of my
list ATM.

AF

Hello folks,
Unfortunately it seems the issues
in Arduino plug-ins are unlikely to be
addressed any time soon. Therefore I suggest
we deprecate the Arduino plug-ins and
schedule them for deletion.
The topic of deleting deprecated code has
come up a few times recently and at the
moment CDT does not have a fixed plan or
policy on how to do this. I plan to make a
proposal at some point, but if anyone has
ideas on how they would like to see the
project handle deleting deprecated code
please do share.
And, if someone does intend to work on
the Arduino plug-ins, please speak up or let
me know off-list if you want to have a
discussion first of what is involved.
A while back Doug spent quite a bit
of effort adding specific Arduino
support into CDT. There are a few
plug-ins that integrate Eclipse CDT with
the Arduino ecosystem, allowing for
example to download Arduino packages.
At the moment this set of bundles is
not being maintained by any active
commiter. People are still using it, and
bugs are being reported against it. The
latter is a very big positive as I see
it as it means that users are interested
enough to report bugs against the
software - some even with workarounds
and detailed instructions on how to
reproduce.
Can someone have a look at some of
these:
Bug
558307 - Project clean rule unable
to remove file (contains a probable fix)
