At times the complete list of platforms shipping with XDCtools do not showup in the new project wizard. This problem has been intermittently observed on both Linux and Windows versions of CCSv5
Fixed in xdceclipse-h01,g30 and xdctools-d43 The 'product.ui' plugin generated by the 'plugingen' tool was erroneously contributing to 'org.eclipse.rtsc.xdctools.ui.productInfo' extension point. The product information registered with XDCtools depended on the order in which the plugins were loaded. To make matters worse 'product.ui' did not define any platforms while 'product' did. So when the 'product.ui' plugin registered second the XDCtools registry did not associate any platforms with the product.This led to the observed behavior where platforms shipped with XDCtools were not showing up in the IDE. The problem is seen intermittently since it depends on the order in which the plugins are loaded. This problem is not specific to CCSv5 and can impact CCSv4 as well. The solution has two aspects to it. The plugingen tool has been fixed so that 'product.ui' does not contribute to the 'org.eclipse.rtsc.xdctools.ui.productInfo' extension point. Also the XDCtools registry has been beefed up to handle multiple contributions to this extension point from the same product. This will allow existing products to be handled correctly by XDCtools. The fix to this problem is expected to go in XDCtools 3.20.03.
Verified fixed using XDCtools 3.20.03.61-eng / xdcprod-m61 The original problem exists in XDCtools 3.20.02.59. Removed 3.20.03.61-eng while reproducing. Provoked bug by installing 3.20.02.59 and forcing product.ui product to register second, per the bug description. Forced by removing product.ui plugin from the eclipse/plugins folder, and starting CCS, so that only product plugin could initially register. After starting CCS (4.2M9), verified that platforms were available by inspecting a test project's project RTSC properties, platform dropdown menu. Also verified that XDCtools help was *not* available, consistent with product.ui plugin having been removed. Shut down CCS, and restored product.ui plugin. Started CCS, and verified that platforms were now *not* available in project properties dropdown, consistent with bug description. Restored XDCtools 3.20.03.61-eng, and restarted CCS. Verified that in the RTSC properties of the test project, 3.20.02.59 was still selected, but now platforms *were* available in the platform dropdown menu, consistent with the fix description. Also verified that 3.20.03.61-eng product.ui plugin does not implement productInfo extension point, consistent with the fix description.
Shipped in XDCtools 3.20.03
