RE: Distribution?

[Dalton, Tom-2]

Thanks for the reply! Sadly I have no Java skills to investigate the "pattern match listener" extensions...

I'm having a bit of an issue in that the lack of 'intellisense' type behaviour in either the CDT or the JDK Eclipse 3.5 releases. The development teams are in revolt and are looking at reverting to makefiles, because using the ant external builder, Eclipse is not linking compile problems through Ant/cpptasks to the source code from which they come.

Should it? Is there any plan to provide this through Platform Ant?

My only option at this point is to revert to the weird 3.4 distro that works (but I don't know why it works), or to revert to using make instead of Ant/cpptasks. I think the latter would be a bad step backwards for our project.

Any further help or advice would be much appreciated, ideally I would like platform Ant to be able to cope with cpptasks style console output e.g.:

sgm:
       [cc] Starting dependency analysis for 32 files.
       [cc] 24 files are up to date.
       [cc] 8 files to be recompiled from dependency analysis.
       [cc] 8 total files to be compiled.
       [cc] /local_views/philsad_2d3d_c2_init/source_2d3d/vis3d/sgm/src/neutral/handlers/SGLosHandlerFactory.cpp:55: error: prototype for ‘vis3d::sgm::SGHandler* vis3d::sgm::SGLosHandlerFactory::create(vis3d::sgm::SGM*)’ does not match any in class ‘vis3d::sgm::SGLosHandlerFactory’

Is there any hope for supporting this? Would it be easy for me to code it myself, given I have no knowledge of Eclipse internals or Java?!

Thanks again,

Tom

The Ant console has "pattern match listener" extensions registered with it to recognize certain patterns and create hyper links. If you look at the org.eclipse.ant.ui plug-in you will see 3 pattern matcher extensions registered with the Ant console. The extension point is "org.eclipse.ui.console.consolePatternMatchListeners". I'm not sure if it was one of these matchers that was creating the links for you in earlier releases. Others could have contributed to this extension point.
