[cdt-dev] Problem with adding entries to language settings provider in C

["Waterlander, Erwin" <erwin.waterlander@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When I add an editable language settings provider via the plugin.xml to a CDT plugin per configuration, the entries added in the plugin.xml are not there.
And when I add entries programmatically to the provider they are also not there.
What am I doing wrong?

I took the example from the CDT plugin developers guide and added this to the plugin.xml:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.cdt.core.LanguageSettingsProvider">
      <provider
            class="org.eclipse.cdt.core.language.settings.providers.LanguageSettingsGenericProvider"
            id="org.eclipse.cdt.example.toolchain.provider1"
            name="Example Provider"
            prefer-non-shared="true">
         <entry
               kind="includePath"
               name="org.eclipse.cdt.example.toolchain.entry2"
               value="/project/include">
         </entry>
      </provider>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.LanguageSettingsProviderAssociation">
      <id-association
            id="org.eclipse.cdt.example.toolchain.provider1"
            ui-edit-entries="true">
      </id-association>
   </extension>


         <configuration
               id="org.eclipse.cdt.example.toolchain.configuration1"
               languageSettingsProviders="org.eclipse.cdt.example.toolchain.provider1;org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.MBSLanguageSettingsProvider;org.eclipse.cdt.ui.UserLanguageSettingsProvider"
               name="Test Release">
               .....
         </configuration>


Adding entries programmatically:


        LanguageSettingsGenericProvider provider = null;

        List<ILanguageSettingsProvider> providers = ((ILanguageSettingsProvidersKeeper) cfgDescription)
                .getLanguageSettingProviders();
        for (ILanguageSettingsProvider p : providers) {
            if (p.getId().contains("example")) {
                provider = (LanguageSettingsGenericProvider) p;
                break;
            }
        }

        System.out.println("provider id: " + provider.getId());        
        // Output: provider id: org.eclipse.cdt.example.toolchain.provider1
        // No number suffix (?)

        // Get existing entries (from plugin.xml).
        List<ICLanguageSettingEntry> entries = provider.getSettingEntries(cfgDescription, project,
                "org.eclipse.cdt.core.cSource");

       // entries appears to be null. I would expect to see the include path from plugin.xml.

        if (entries == null)
            entries = new ArrayList<ICLanguageSettingEntry>();

        // Add extra include path
        CIncludePathEntry entry;
        entry = CDataUtil.createCIncludePathEntry("/project/include/extra", ICSettingEntry.NONE);
        entries.add(entry);

        provider.setSettingEntries(cfgDescription, project, "org.eclipse.cdt.core.cSource", entries);

        CoreModel.getDefault().setProjectDescription(project, projectDescription);
