</div>I was using it for a while but went back to creating my own projects using the<br>
Makefile generator. I thought you might like feedback as to why I did so.<br>
<br>
1) I found it a bit annoying that the source tree was not the default location<br>
and instead was a linked directory. To me it makes more sense to have the<br>
build directory linked as you are more likely to be editing stuff in your<br>
source directory than your build directory.</blockquote><div><br><br>This point also annoy me little, especially because I'm using svn and bzr plugin that are not being called when moving files from the build project, but you get used to it easily (you just have to rename and move files in the original). Having the automatic completion working out-of-the-box is worth this little bug.<br>

<br>
2) It's good that all the rules are setup using Makefiles but I'm not quite<br>
sure why the "build" buttons seem to be disabled in favour of this. It would<br>
be good to have them re-enabled or at least an option so, if you'd like the<br>
default Eclipse behaviour (build button = make all) then you can have it<br>
easily.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I guess the build button is disabled because there are no configurations (you're not in a managed project), but if you want a shortcut to build your project, just hit ctrl-B<br><br><br>Cheers,<br>
