Bug 331987

Description Markus 2010-12-07 03:49:22 EST

Hi,

I would like to make a request to add the following feature to Eclipse:
Be able to specify a list of files to be included in the project.

As it is not possible to smoothly work with Flexible Project Structures as desribe d on the following page:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT:Flexible_Project_Structure  

To resolve this easily, a feature can be added to Eclipse to allow the user to specify a file that contains a list of files and directories to be included in the project.

This feature exists in snavigator and works very well. To create a project called HELLO and specifying a file (IMPORT.txt) which contains the list of files and directories you do the following:

snavigator --batchmode --create --projectname HELLO --import IMPORT.txt

The file IMPORT.txt would look like following:
/dir1/dir2/dir3/file1.c
/dira/dirb/dirc/filea.c
/dir1a/dir2a/dir3a/file1a.c

etc.

The same feature would be very beneficial if it would be added to Eclipse.

Brs,
Markus
