Description Richard Horbach CLA 2011-12-19 05:55:34 EST 
Build Identifier: M20110909-1335

When importing a project that was created with a previous version of CDT, the language mappings set are being ignored. Apparantly the problem is related to where the mappings are being stored in the cproject file.

In Helios the language mappings were stored within a 'cconfiguration' element.

In Indigo  the language mappings are stored on global scope, outside a 'cconfiguration' element.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a cygwin project with Helios.
2. Add a language mapping: Properties > C/C++ General > Language Mappings > Add: (All) - C Csource File - GNU C
3. Import the project with Indigo: File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace
4. Take a look at the language mapings: Properties > C/C++ General > Language Mappings. No language mappings are displayed/discovered.
