| <introduction> |
| <html:p> |
| The Linux Tools/Linux Distros project is a two-faceted |
| project. Firstly, it provides a place for Linux |
| distributions to |
| collaboratively overcome issues surrounding |
| distribution packaging of |
| Eclipse technology. The project |
| produces both best practices and tools |
| related to packaging. |
| Secondly, the project develops and produces |
| tools relevant |
| to Linux developers. |
| </html:p> |
| </introduction> |
| <release_deliverables> |
| <html:p> |
| The Linux Tools/Linux Distros project delivers tools as |
| Eclipse plugins which are used primarily by Linux developers |
| and |
| packagers. The project also aims to deliver various |
| scripts, |
| techniques, and tarballs which ease the process of |
| packaging Eclipse |
| technology for Linux distributions. |

| <postamble /> |
| </release_milestones> |
| <target_environments> |
| <html:p> |
| The tools run with Eclipse 3.4 (some may still require |
| updating from 3.3 in places) and require Java 5.0. Some |
| tools -- notable the autotools and profiling plugins -- require CDT >= 5.0.0. |
| </html:p> |
| <html:p> |
| The packaging tools not delivered as Eclipse plugins have |
| varying requirements but generally require basic tools such |
| as bash, sed, awk, grep, etc. |
| </html:p> |
| <internationalization> |
| <html:p> |
| The tools aim to have all strings externalized so as to |
| facilitate internationalization. At present, no |
| translations are provided. |

| <html:p> |
| The Linux Distros/Linux Tools project differs in aims |
| from |
| many Eclipse projects. It enables adopters of |
| Eclipse technology but |
| often through help with |
| consumption and not through APIs. It also |
| aims to be a |
| place for collaboration among Linux distributions. |
| Finally, the project aims to bring Eclipse technology to |
| Linux |
| developers by providing tools targetted at Linux |
| developers -- |
| specifically those programming in C and |
| C++. |

| <theme name="Getting the Eclipse SDK into Linux distributions"> |
| <description> |
| <html:p> |
| Most Linux distributions require all packages |
| included |
| therein to be built directly from source |
| code. This theme |
| encompasses the project goal of |
| assisting distributions in their |
| building and |
| packaging of the Eclipse SDK as well as |
| standardizing |
| practices and any patches needed. It |
| also aims to encourage and aid |
| distributions in |
| their attempts to drive unit test results down to |
| zero. |

| <description> |
| <html:p> |
| This set of plugins provides a framework to |
| provide editor hover help for |
| various popular libraries a developer may need |
| for C/C++ development. A new library can add |
| hover help for its interfaces simply by creating |
| a special xml file and using the libhover |
| extension. Ideally, library maintainers would |
| create the information from existing doc files |
| and add it to their packages. |
| This code was |
| created by modifying code submitted in |
| September 2008 with the autotools plugins which |
| is currently undergoing parallel |
| IP |
| review. Goals include providing hover help for |
| many popular C libraries, allowing selection of |
| hover help per project, and promoting library |
| providers to create these plugins as part of |
| their own build process. |
