Remove 'Experimental' label from Core Build Makefile projects. #805
Conversation
Removed the 'Experimental' label in project creation wizard for Core Build Makefile projects. Seven years after the inception it's time to remove it. Core Build Makefile is now in a usable state. The 'Experimental' label scares users away from it, making them fall back to the old Managed Build Makefile projects.

I can add that at Intel we built a custom flow on top of Core Build Makefile which is working fine. |
…ld projects. To lower the risk of overwriting existing code the option to create an example is by default disabled.
Update service number. Undid accidental update of org.eclipse.cdt.cmake.ui version.

In addition I want to say that we must not fall in the trap of adding lots of features to Core Build Makefile to make it 'in parity' with the bloated Managed Build Makefile. Core Build flow (all flavors of it) has intentional less build features. The motto is 'keep it simple'. The use case is a multi-user environment where some people use IDE and some use command line. The IDE is not the master of project build settings. Compare it to how vscode works. The projects vary from single to multi-target applications. There are discussions ongoing about making Core Build CMake equally feature rich as Managed Build Makefile. I think this is a mistake, comparing apples with oranges, and ignoring the ideas that Doug Schaefer had about Core Build. My 2 cents... We are now using Core Build Makefile and we plan to use Core Build CMake in the future. I would like to participate in the discussions about CMake. I plan to join the next CDT monthly meeting. |
+1 to your whole comment - especially this. This is certainly a change from how things used to be.
Wonderful! |
