[Buildroot] Release 1.0.0 of the Buildroot/Eclipse integration

[Jeremy Rosen]

Let me just say that this is just awesome....


I am not an eclipse user myself,  but we regularly have request for providing a BSP based on buildroot and a compatible
developement environement. This plugin is going to make things way more easier for us...

keep up the great work

> Hello,

> We are proud to announce today the first release of the
> Buildroot/Eclipse integration. This integration will make it easier
> for Eclipse users to develop, build, and debug applications in the
> context of embedded Linux systems generated with Buildroot.
> 
> This integration allows Eclipse to:
> 
>  * Automatically discover the toolchain made available by each of the
>    Buildroot project on your machine.
> 
>  * Automatically build your application or library in Eclipse using
>    the cross-compiler of a given Buildroot project. Eclipse also
>    automatically recognizes all the cross-compiled libraries that are
>    exposed through pkg-config, so that linking your application
>    against one or several of those libraries is just a matter of
>    selecting them in a list.
> 
>  * Automatically copy your compiled application to the target and
>    execute it, directly from Eclipse, with just one click on the
>    "Run"
>    button.
> 
>  * Automatically start a remote debugging session, directly from
>    Eclipse, with just one click on the "Debug" button.
> 
>  * Explore the target filesystem from Eclipse, get access to a shell
>    on the target (using SSH).

>   https://github.com/mbats/eclipse-buildroot-bundle/wiki
> 
> The first tutorial details the installation, which is very simple:
> 
>  * Download and install Eclipse for C/C++ developers
>  * Enable an update site, hosted at
>    http://buildroot.org/downloads/eclipse/. It will automatically
>    pull
>    all the necessary Eclipse plugins to provide the features
>    mentioned
>    above.
> 
> A video of a conference given on this topic at EclipseCon Europe 2012
> is also available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNl784ws8F0,
> providing a demonstration of Eclipse usage in a Buildroot
> context. Note that a second presentation of this project will be done
> at EclipseCon US 2013 in March in Boston.
> 
> We are attaching to this e-mail two patches for Buildroot:
> 
>  * The first patch is mandatory to make the Buildroot/Eclipse
>    integration work. It registers the toolchain generated by each
>    Buildroot project in a hidden file located in the user's home
>    directory, which is then read by Eclipse to automatically find the
>    available toolchains.
> 
>  * The second patch updates the manual to mention the
>    Eclipse/Buildroot integration, and a reference to the site for
>    more
>    details.
> 
> We are very interested in receiving feedback from users, either
> concerning bugs in the existing features, or suggestion of new
> features. The Wiki of the project already mentions a number of
> features that we would like to work on in the future, but having
> feedback would definitely be appreciated.
