journey: Building a successful embedded IDE using Eclipse CDT
summary
Renesas builds e2 studio on Eclipse CDT with six engineers and ships a first version in about a year, reusing CDT, Linux Tools, Trace Compass, GEF, SWTBot and e(fx)clipse to avoid reimplementing project, build and debug basics. Custom work includes an advanced debugger manager channel around gdb for high-volume trace and hw breakpoints, parser extensions and indexer workarounds for proprietary compilers, a Xtext graphical linker editor and JavaFX pin/clock editors, SWTBot-driven interactive demos and Linux heterogeneous debugging with trace visualization.
