| <h2><STRONG>Project Description</STRONG></h2> |
| <P>The CDT (C/C++ Development Tools) Project is working towards providing a |
| fully functional C and C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the |
| Eclipse platform. </P> |
| <P>There are a number of groups contributing to the CDT; We strongly encourage |
| interested parties to extend our work, thereby making the Eclipse CDT project a |
| richer set of freely available resources. We are looking for contributions from |
| the open source community in the areas of test, development, documentation, and |
| general users who can help us ensure that the C/C++ tools work well on all the |
| Eclipse platforms. </P> |
| <P>Our current release function includes:</P> |
| <UL> |
| <LI>C/C++ Editor (basic functionality, syntax highlighting, code completion |
| etc.) |
| <LI>C/C++ Debugger (APIs & Default implementation, using GDB) |
| <LI>C/C++ Launcher (APIs & Default implementation, launches and external |
| application) |
| <LI>Parser |
| <LI>Search Engine |
| <LI>Content Assist Provider |
| <LI>Makefile generator </LI></UL> |

| <STRONG>Executive Summary</STRONG> </h2> |
| <p>Design for Extensibility: Be a Better Platform</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The CDT project plans to better document and qualify their API in order |
| that other projects and ISVs have a well defined platform from which to integrate |
| and extend.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> Enterprise Ready </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The CDT project recognizes the needs for a tools platform that can meet |
| the requirements and challenges of large projects on an Enterprise scale. |
| Future plans will take into account these needs.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> Performance and Scalability</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> The demands of development projects with extensive code basis requires |
| that the CDT project designs and develops a tools platform that can scale |
| from a single developer to large distributed development teams. Future enhancements |
| efforts will need to make this requirement a priority.</li> |
| </ul> |
