Some users need to use remote debugging, without building their applications. However, current remote development design makes this impossible. This is not correct. Here is a citation from such user' letter > I am working with an ARM cross compiler and am trying to remote debug to an embedded ARM based target. > The target has no compiler sets available but supports GDB. > Currently the target is simulated using the Qemu emulator. > However i can not seem to get beyond the "Add new tool collection for xxx" dialog.
I probably didn't state the issue accurate enough. Compilers may present on remote machine, but can not be recognized by NetBeans IDE. The project still can be built if it is based on the user-written makefile. NetBeans should make possible to work remotely in such case too.
in next release
it's rather an enhancement
Was it fixed in bug #248752?
