Re: [cdt-test-dev] CDT 2.0 M5 Release Candidate 1 now available

[Brent Nicolle <bnicolle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi -

Sanity Test passes on WinXP, with a healthy dose of non-major bugs 
(omitted here, not yet raised) and one potential show-stopper (likely not 
CDT's problem):

I had prepared an Eclipse 3.0M5 "ready to go" with its Update Manager 
pointing at the CDT 2.0 build page.  Unfortunately, this CDT build is 
using a distribution zip.  It looks like once I had started using the 
Update Manager (or rather the E3.0 equivalent), Eclipse wasn't going to 
pay attention to new plugins showing up in its install directory.  So I 
couldn't open the C/C++ Perspective despite the fact that the CDT bits 
were correctly unzipped into Eclipse's features/plugins directories.  With 
a fresh install of Eclipse + CDT, I was able to open the C/C++ Perspective 
and get on with my day.  If you have similar trouble getting started, try 
a fresh install of Eclipse 3.0M5.

I'll raise this bug (probably to Eclipse/Update) after a little more 
investigation, by COB.

Cheers,
 
- Brent

[cdt-test-dev] CDT 2.0 M5 Release Candidate 1 now available






Hey gang,

I've finally got together a build of CDT 2.0 that people can test. The 
move to eclipse 3.0 has blown up my build scripts for now (mainly due to 
bugs in PDE). So for now, we need to resort back to the old distribution 
zips. The build can be found on the CDT downloads page:

 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/cdt-home/downloads/main.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project


Please take a crack at these builds to make sure there are no show 
stoppers. If you find one, please send it to this list so we can triage. 
The objective is to release this build to the public so that people can 
start using the CDT with Eclipse 3.0 M5. As such, the quality has to be 
pretty reasonable. I'd like to get the release out by the end of day 
Wednesday.
