Description Anna Dushistova

Build Identifier: 

It would be nice to be able to hide say not used toolchains in the new project wizard, something like what we have in RSE for connection types(a preference page to select the types you want in the connection dialog).

Reproducible: Always

It is a fair request, I just want to note that you can fairly easily create your own wizard extending CDTCommonProjectWizard and override

	@Override
	public void addPages()  {
		final List<String> filter = types;
		fMainPage = new CDTMainWizardPage(PAGE_NAME) {
			@SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "rawtypes" })
			@Override
			public List filterItems(List items)  {
				List<EntryDescriptor> displayed = new ArrayList<EntryDescriptor>();
				for (EntryDescriptor entryDescriptor : ((List<EntryDescriptor>)items)) {
					if(filter.contains(entryDescriptor.getId()))
						displayed.add(entryDescriptor);
				}
				return displayed;
			}
		};

		fMainPage.setTitle(title);
		fMainPage.setDescription(desc);
		addPage(fMainPage);
	}

I know,
but then our users will end up with 2 wizards for a C/C++ project creation which caused a lot of frustration in the past and what I'd like to avoid.

I'm planning on revamping the CDT new project wizard, probably over the few weeks. I'll put together a proposal.

The idea is to add a level to select target platform, and then filter the toolchains based on that. Need to work through the details on how to do that though. Stay tuned.
