Eclipse CDT - new template or "project type"


Using Eclipse Helios and CDT 7.

Is it possible to save a project as a new template/project type?

When you go to create a new project, a dialog opens and you select a project type (Executable -> empty project, etc.) I would like to add one.

Point is, I'm playing with SDL, and I know I'll be making a lot of new projects. I don't want to have to go into the preferences each time and set up the compiler/linker to find the files.

I've been looking for a while, but have had no luck finding anything.


Solution

  • Yes you can do what you want. Check out the link How to Register Templates. I created the following plugin using the instructions in the previous link. Download Plugin.
