Managed Build System automatic project conversion

[John MOULE]

Hi,

Using the extension point,
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.projectConverter, to provide a project
converter I only see my converter being called when the user selects the
project context menu "Convert to...".

Is there a way to get project conversion done automatically when a user
opens a workspace, opens a closed project or imports a project?

Do I have to install listeners manually myself in those places? Any tips
on how to proceed if that is the case please?


cheers john

p.s. using [Eclipse 3.4.2, CDT 5.0.2]

It is called automatically also when toolchain version is lower than
current one. There is no way to make it called if version does not
change.
You can install listener on resource change events (this is how
auto-converter implemented).

In my opinion in CDT 5.x (maybe later versions also) implementation of
this extension point was broken. Try to use  another one:
org.eclipse.cdt.core.projectConverter

thanks for the reply. If that is the case it is music to my ears. Please forgive my ignorance, but where is the "toolchain version" specified?

I'm using the extension point "org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions" and have based my whole plugin on org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ui. hence none of the "versionsSupported" fields are populated.




So if I wanted my converter to be triggered using my new plugin version (call it 4.1.1 for arguments sake) where would I have to specify that version number?

I've tried populating various parts of my plugin with versionsSupported=4.1.1 and opening my workspace containing old projects in a runtime workbench, but I'm not seeing my converter being called automatically.

Hi Alex,

thanks for the reply.

What sort of breakages are you referring to?

I had a look at the ext point you suggested. From the Extension Point
Description it looks a little incomplete. Are you certain its the best one
to use?
