The Linux Tools project is a two-faceted
project. Firstly, it develops tools and frameworks for
writing tools for Linux developers. Secondly, it provides
a place for Linux
distributions to
collaboratively overcome issues surrounding
distribution packaging of
Eclipse technology. The project will
produce both best practices and tools
related to packaging.
</p><h2><a name="release_deliverables">Release Deliverables</a></h2><p>
The Linux Tools 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.
</p><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="release_milestones">Release Milestones</a></h2><table border="1" align="center"><tr><td><b>0.1</b></td><td>2009-01-16</td><td><p>First release</p><p>

</p></td></tr></table><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="target_environments">Target Environments</a></h2><p>
For releases &lt;= 0.2, the tools run with Eclipse 3.4.x (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 &gt;= 5.0.0 (6.0 for our 0.3 release and greater).
For releases &gt;= 0.3, the tools run with Eclipse 3.5.x and related dependencies.
</p><p>
The packaging tools not delivered as Eclipse plugins have
varying requirements but generally require basic tools such
as bash, sh, sed, awk, grep, etc.
</p><h3>Internationalization</h3>
<p>
The tools aim to have all strings externalized so as to
facilitate internationalization. At present, no
translations are provided. See bug #261255 and bug #261256.

The Linux Tools project differs in aims
from
many Eclipse projects. It enables adopters of
Eclipse technology but
often through help with
consumption and not always through APIs. It also
aims to be a
place for collaboration among Linux distributions.
The project also aims to bring Eclipse technology to
Linux
developers by providing tools targetted at Linux
developers --
specifically those programming in C and
C++.
</p><h3>Getting the Eclipse SDK into Linux distributions</h3><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.

Getting plugins into Linux distributions relates to
the
project's goal of making it easier to build and
package Eclipse
plugins for Linux distributions. At
present it includes shell
scripts and best practice
documentation. In the future, we aim to
provide
Eclipse plugins to help packagers.

Many open source projects use GNU-style ChangeLog files to
manage their changes. These plugins help writing ChangeLogs and
provide an editor for ChangeLog files. Although these plugins are
largely mature, we should continue to fix any bugs and increase
their robustness.

This set of plugins allows projects that are
built using
the
GNU Autotools (automake, autoconf,
etc.) to be developed using
the
CDT. It relies upon
the CDT build mechanisms. This code was
submitted in
September 2008 and is currently undergoing parallel
IP
review. Goals include managing new file addition to
targets, small
wizards to ease creation of various
build targets, and tools to
export an "autotooled"
build.

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.
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.

Valgrind is a set of tools very commonly used to diagnose

output of
the valgrind tools into the IDE will be a focus as will be
simplicity.
