MCUXpresso (v11.5.1) not compatible with latest cmake4eclipse (3.0.3)

[lh_dan]

I just installed the latest version of MCUXpresso v11.5.1 and then attempted to install cmake4eclipse as all of my latest projects use cmake. The Eclipse Marketplace now installs version 3.0.3 which is not compatible:

Looking at the previous version of MCUXpresso (v11.5.0) that I have been using it looks like I installed cmake4eclipse (2.1.4) at that time. (Though if I tried to reinstall it now it would attempt 3.0.3 and fail as well).

Looking at the changelog for cmake4eclipse (https://github.com/15knots/cmake4eclipse/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) it seems that starting with version 3.0.0, cmake4eclipse requires 

• CDT v 10.5 or newer and Eclipse v 2021-12 or newer

Well, MCUXpresso (v11.5.1) installs CDT 10.3 and this seems to be the latest version on the marketplace as well. So what's a cmake developer to do?

you can try download the previous version https://nxp.flexnetoperations.com/control/frse/download?element=13242407 and search and install the previous cmake4eclipse and previous CDT

both plugins are maintained by people outside of NXP, so, we hope the update as soon as possible his plugins.

But the real question would be, how do these two plugins improve your project development of mcu NXP? Which is the advantage and disadvantages of having or not those plugins?

I believe that the only way to use cmake with MCUXpresso is to install cmake4eclipse. Let me know if I am wrong with this assumption. I don't have any personal requirement with CDT other than the fact that the newer version cmake4eclipse requires it. 

If there is a way to install the older version of cmake4eclipse (2.1.4) with the current version of MCUXpresso, that would solve my problem as well.

The Software design team now knows it and is working on his part, please let us know if you could solve it by asking the CDT team and cmake4eclipse community and what steps you take to how to solve it with a new eclipse.

You can try to work with linux wich is native the make and cmake, in this case, can follow this excelente tutorial https://mcuoneclipse.com/2019/04/14/tutorial-mcuxpresso-sdk-with-linux-part-1-installation-and-build...

This is a Kinetis design so linux is not an option. I look forward to hearing of a solution with MCUXpresso. I will ask about a solution within the cmake4eclipse community when I can get back to this.
