I'd like to use one of my Projects where everything is configured fine and how it is need to start working as a "template" for creating a new Project within eclipse with CDT.
So that time for configuring and writing a working project can be safed because it was already made somewhere else.
Any hints?
You could always right-click the project, choose "copy" and then hit ctrl+v (command+v on mac) to paste a new copy of the project into the workspace, then delete the source files that you don't need, leaving only the project configuration.
Just some ideas:
- You can also use File->Export to export the C/C++ project settings, and include those with the project itself (like on a git repo?)
- You could make your 'perfect' starting project and use that as a git repo. Then, when you want to use it, just clone and disconnect (under the team menu) the template. Finally, you can re-share to a new repo?
- Save the project as 'read-only' and use it as a starting point (now use Save as..) (Not tested, just an idea)
Finally, if you want to do it right, your going to have to write up a plugin! Yay!
Good starting point if you choose this route from this SO link

Good luck! And let us know if you come up with anything else...
