What Andy means is that when you install CDT you don't have a Java IDE, you have a plain C/C++ IDE (unless of course I'm mistaken and there's no plain-CDT download). Of course CDT still uses the java-written eclipse platform sdk, but it doesn't have anything else to do with Java. Its completely about writing C/C++ applications. It also doesn't use the buildsystem thats used for java projects, but hand-written Makefiles (or whatever you find a plugin for). > > What the Eclipse platform really IS though, is a great platform for > > making IDEs. > > Yes but my assumption is you have to write Java code to make more IDEs. Right. Andreas -- You have the capacity to learn from mistakes. You'll learn a lot today. _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
