		<h2>Overview</h2>
		<p>
		The Linux Distributions Autotools suite of plugins add support to the CDT (C/C++ Development Tools) for building and maintaining C/C++ projects that use autotools.
Using autotools is very common in the world of Open Source projects such as those hosted at http://www.gnu.org.  With this additional support, a vast repository of C/C++ code can be checked out, built, and maintained under the CDT rather easily without having to resort to the command line.
		</p>

		<h2>Current Status</h2>
		<p>
		In conjunction with CDT 5.0.1, the plugin can do the following:
		<ul>
          <li>Build a C/C++ project that uses a configure script or an autogen script or a Makefile.cvs script</li>
          <li>Allow configuration parameters to be set via a gui and to rebuild when configuration parameters are changed</li>
          <li>Colorized editing of configuration files such as configure.in, configure.ac, Makefile.am, and Makefile.in with full hover help for autoconf/automake macros</li>
          <li>Allow specification of multiple build configurations for a single project</li>
          <li>Run autoconf, automake, or aclocal directly using a gui interface</li>
	  <li>Help for autoconf and automake</li>
        </ul>
		</p>

		<h2>Future Plans</h2>
		<p>
		<ul>
		  <li>Wizard support for creation of Autotool projects </li>
		  <li>Templates for autoconf/automake input files</li>
          <li>Better error parsing of autoconf/automake input files </li>
          <li> Increase test coverage</li>
        </ul>
		</p>

		<h2>Try it out</h2>
		<p>
		  At present we have no update site, but you can check the project plugins out of SVN
		  directly from eclipse.org at svn://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.linuxtools.
          You will need to check out the following from autotools/trunk:
<pre>     org.eclipse.linuxtools.autotools
     org.eclipse.linuxtools.autotools.docs
     org.eclipse.linuxtools.autotools.feature
</pre>
From there, run the plugins as an Eclipse Application.
