Eclipse/F12 Polish

For Fedora 12, the Fedora Eclipse group of contributors would like to focus on polish items. We have a lot of great plugins with awesome functionality but we would like to smooth some rough edges to ease the development process. We are collecting a list of items here. It is preferable for items to have upstream (bugs.eclipse.org) bug report links, but if not, team members can probably be coerced into filing them.


 * C Build console should have a stop button
 * Running a C/C++ binary prompts for gdb type
 * CDT binaries category is not at top of project explorer
 * Importing a project from existing sources could be smoother
 * Sometimes, building a single project blocks the entire workspace
 * Automatic build (CDT) is sometimes too eager
 * ~ should be expanded to /home/username in dialogues, etc. Related bugs:
 * Using ~ in the workspace selector dialog no longer refers to home directory
 * Linux export dialog doesn't expand tilde (~) to home directory
 * Grab pkg-config macros from configure.ac and install missing -devel packages with PackageKit. Related bugs:
 * add pkg-config support for linux
 * Support importing options from pkg-config
 * Use PackageKit to install packages for missing pkg-config modules
 * Anjuta feature
 * Buffers for configure/build are often too small; log to file by default? bigger?
 * Search in the console view would be very nice (is this upstream bug fixed?)
 * In EGit, Clone repository should use new project wizard if no .project files exist in repo
 * Disable building before running (CDT)
 * If automatic build is on, only changed projects should be built
 * Sometimes autotool'd projects don't build and this snowballs into other problems
 * Mis-placed warnings for header files not found (-I statements not correctly scraped)
 * Missing make targets
 * The autotools project needs some unit tests for building to increase its robustness and help to avoid regressions
 * 'Binaries' category in Project Explorer missing after restart
 * changing --prefix seems to block UI thread
 * make targets list not present if builddir != sourcedir
 * double-clicking on target in make outline view doesn't work
 * if oprofile results aren't good, perhaps don't show them? (.plt 100%?)
 * memcheck errors in libraries?
 * entries in outline view of Makefile (sub-target) are un-clickable
 * deleting all projects and having open files doesn't close them
 * refresh on C project shows small letter r in status area (with percentage)
 * Build (GNU) directory present with autotools project
 * Convert to autotools has C/C++ options -- why?
 * Convert to autotools not in New menu when CDT project is
 * After conversion to autotools project, configure starts but console doesn't get focus
 * Good times with configure: error: source directory already configured; run "make distclean" there first
