Integrate CDT fuctionality to Eclipse Product

39 Views Asked by At

I have created an Eclipse plugin that shows an XML file as a tree(a simple functionality). I can export a product with this plugin integrated without any problems. However, I would like to add CDT support to this product as well to get a product with both my own plugin and CDT capabilities.

I tried to export my plugin as an Eclipse feature or p2 repository and install it into a CDT product. Although it works, if users go to "Help -> About Eclipse IDE", they can see the information about "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers". I want the CDT and my plugin to be a part of the final product so that I can change product settings like its splash screen, not my plugin be a part of CDT if that makes any sense.

I also tried to add all the CDT-related plugins to the dependencies of product, feature, and plugin but could not get it to work.

Moreover, I thought about developing the CDT and changing the source code but I would like to consider this as a last resort.

How can I achieve such a goal? Is there anything that I have missed during the process? Is there any alternative way to tackle such a problem?

Thanks in advance
