Eclipse CDT projects with bitbake

Project Files and Directories

Elphel camera software is based on Yocto Poky distribution, all the individual projects such as Linux kernel drivers, C/C++ applications, web applications, Python projects are organized as Makefile projects, each tied to a separate Git repository. The top project elphel393 has the setup.py script that installs and synchronizes them. All projects have Eclipse IDE configuration data (in eclipse_project_setup subdirectories), and this data is copied to the project root by setup.py. As Eclipse project settings may have user-dependent settings, current configuration files (/.project, /.cproject, ...) are not version controlled, so to restore them after corruption or just to get updated versions you need either to manually copy eclipse_project_setup sub-tree, or delete /.project and re-run setup.py.

Eclipse IDE setting reference not only files that are in the Git repository, but also those that are generated during build process, so Eclipse should be launched with these projects only after the command-line [build process] has finished.
