13 <h1>Creating a project via a project template</h1> |
|
14 |
|
15 <p>From CDT 4.0 its possible to create projects based upon templates defined by the IDE supplier. What this means is |
|
16 that you can easily create a project which contains customized source code and is ready for use in a few clicks. Some |
|
17 aspects of the generated project may be customized by the user as part of the new project wizard.</p> |
|
18 |
|
19 <p>To create a project from a template:</p> |
|
20 |
|
21 <ol> |
|
22 |
|
23 <li>Click <b>File > New > C Project</b> or <b>File > New > C++ Project</b>. |
|
24 <br> |
|
25 <br> |
|
26 <img src="../images/cdt_t_proj_new_with_template_1.png" alt="File >New > C++ Project"> |
|
27 <br> |
|
28 </li> |
|
29 |
|
30 <li>The wizard will open as shown below.<br> |
|
31 Expand the project type that you are interested in. For more information on project types, see <a href="cdt_t_proj_platf.htm">Selecting a |
|
32 project type</a> This shows the template projects that you can use as a basis |
|
33 for your new project. CDT comes with some simple templates, but ISVs can add further templates by using the |
|
34 <em>org.eclipse.cdt.core.templates</em> extension point.<br> |
|
35 In the <b>Project Name</b> box, type a name. The example uses "HelloWorld"</li> |
|

|
39 <br> |
|
40 </li> |
|
41 |
|
42 <li>Click <b>Next</b>.</li> |
|
43 <li>The next page is dependent on the type of template you selected. It will consist of a number of input fields, maybe with |
|
44 default values, that will be fed into the template you create.</li> |
|
45 <br> |
|
46 <br> |
|

|
48 <br> |
|
49 </li> |
|
50 |
|
51 <li>This last page "Select Configurations" can be skipped, or allows further project configuration in the same way as non-template-based projects. |
|
52 <br> |

|
54 <img src="../images/cdt_t_proj_new_with_template_4.png" alt="New Project Wizard"></li> |
|
55 </br> |
|
56 </li> |
|
57 <li>To create your project, click <b>Finish</b>. |
|
58 |
|
59 <li>In the Project Explorer you will see that the new project has been created. You will see that the source file has |
|
60 been customized with the values you entered earlier in the wizard. |

|
64 </br> |
|
65 </li> |
|
66 |
|
67 <li>Sometimes values you enter into the template wizard will be remembered between sessions in order that you do not |
|
68 need enter them each time. If you want to change these you can use <b>Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Template Default Values</b> |
