Is it for C++ only?

Why new View and not extending ProjectExplorer?

please add README.md

obhi-d commented 10 years ago

No it is not C++ only. It is a new View which directly uses/filters the same resources that a default CNF View could display. I intend to develop upon this new View and add more features, hence the new View. While developing I did face some issues while extending the ProjectExplorer, I dont remember what exactly(because this was a side project I did for my CDT, I primarily work in C++). However if I recall correctly, FilteredTree uses its own (sub-classed) TreeViewer whereas CNF uses its own CommonViewer. There was no way to add the FilteredTree composite to the CNF view (in ProjectExplorer) without some customization. May be I did not try.

I will add a Readme.

Thank you so much.

By the way, there is Bugzilla issue to make Project Explorer having all features, as deprecate Package Explorer. (That's why new 4.4 features are added into Project Explorer only )

I was going to download the dev version and check it out. Thanks for that info.
