Using same project files with CodeWarrior-Eclipse and Standard-Eclipse

codetrooper — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 20:39:35 GMT

I am using the same working directory with CodeWarrior-Eclipse (v10.2) and Standard-Eclipse.

CodeWarrior does not seem to regard standard eclipse projects as CodeWarrior-Eclipse, although the filenames (.project/.cproject) are the same.

Is it the intention of freescale to have compatible project-files to Standard-Eclipse?

That would be really nice, otherwise the project-files should at least have a different name, to avoid conflicts.

Lets say compatibility is indended:

Whats about different eclipse versions? Have they a compatible project-format to Codewarrior?

How do I merge CodeWarrior and Eclipse project files, so they work with both IDE's?

Standard (or what is called "Classic") CodeWarrior keeps project information in a <projectname>_Data folder. The .project and .cproject files are generated by Eclipse to store project information. The two are not compatible. You can import a Classic CodeWarrior project into the Eclipse-based CodeWarrior environment by using the project importer fucntion (File > Import > CodeWarrior > CodeWarrior Classic Project Importer). Note that the importation process is not perfect: there are a number of things you still have to tweak after importing a classic project.

I am not talking about Classic Code Warrior but about CodeWarriorEclipse and Standard-CDT-Eclipse.

The latter is used to compile my projects for linux.

I've made further investigations and have come to the conclusion that the project files of CDT (I am using Helios) and those of CW (v10.2) are not compatible. The IDE'S can load each-others project files but do not understand them correctly. It comes even worse. If loaded by the other IDE and saved again, the project looses some settings and the project wont compile anymore at all.

If project-files are not compatible the naming should be at least different!

I now have to restructure my project so those project files wont conflict anymore.
