| michael@0 | 7 | For additional information on using Eclipse CDT see |

| michael@0 | 10 | |
| michael@0 | 11 | The build system contains alpha support for generating C++ Eclipse |
| michael@0 | 12 | project files to aid with development. |
| michael@0 | 13 | |
| michael@0 | 14 | Please report bugs to bugzilla and make them depend on bug 973770. |
| michael@0 | 15 | |
| michael@0 | 16 | To generate a C++ Eclipse project files, you'll need to have a fully |
| michael@0 | 17 | built tree:: |
| michael@0 | 18 | |
| michael@0 | 19 | mach build |
| michael@0 | 20 | |
| michael@0 | 21 | Then, simply generate the Android Eclipse build backend:: |
| michael@0 | 22 | |
| michael@0 | 23 | mach build-backend -b CppEclipse |
| michael@0 | 24 | |
| michael@0 | 25 | If all goes well, the path to the generated workspace should be |
| michael@0 | 26 | printed (currently, ``$OBJDIR/android_eclipse``). |
| michael@0 | 27 | |
| michael@0 | 28 | To use the generated Android Eclipse project files, you'll need to |
| michael@0 | 29 | have a Eclipse CDT 8.3 (We plan to follow the latest Eclipse release) |
| michael@0 | 30 | `Eclipse CDT plugin |
| michael@0 | 31 | <https://www.eclipse.org/cdt/>`_ |
| michael@0 | 32 | installed. You can then import all the projects into Eclipse using |
| michael@0 | 33 | *File > Import ... > General > Existing Projects into Workspace* |
| michael@0 | 34 | -only- if you have not ran the background indexer. |
| michael@0 | 35 | |
| michael@0 | 36 | Updating Project Files |
| michael@0 | 37 | ====================== |
| michael@0 | 38 | |
| michael@0 | 39 | As you pull and update the source tree, your C++ Eclipse files may |
| michael@0 | 40 | fall out of sync with the build configuration. The tree should still |
| michael@0 | 41 | build fine from within Eclipse, but source files may be missing and in |
| michael@0 | 42 | rare circumstances Eclipse's index may not have the proper build |
| michael@0 | 43 | configuration. |
| michael@0 | 44 | |
| michael@0 | 45 | To account for this, you'll want to periodically regenerate the |
| michael@0 | 46 | Android Eclipse project files. You can do this by running ``mach build |
| michael@0 | 47 | && mach build-backend -b CppEclipse`` from the |
| michael@0 | 48 | command line. |
| michael@0 | 49 | |
| michael@0 | 50 | Currently, regeneration rewrites the original project files. **If |
| michael@0 | 51 | you've made any customizations to the projects, they will likely get |
| michael@0 | 52 | overwritten.** We would like to improve this user experience in the |
| michael@0 | 53 | future. |
