Description Thomas Preisler 2009-09-17 21:24:48 UTC
Originally CR 6511594

Description:
The SSX3 does not have any specific integration of Sun Compilers with Project System. This means that for "managed" projects user should put all compiler 
flags to command line through the text box provided. That is inconvenient, requires deep knowledge of Sun Compilers and does not look as real IDE. This 
most likely will result in using only default options of our compilers that can lead to wrong bad impression on our compilers and product as whole. On 
other hand more advanced users will find our IDE poor since even to compile with higher level of optimizations they need to put -xO? to command line. 
That does not look this way for Microsoft VS for example.
The suggested feature is to provide users with sufficent subset of Sun compiler's options that are really useful and show true power of the tools. The access 
to the option has to be provided through project options, needs to be intuitive and accompanied with rich help or tool tips.
I have made some prework which is described in "Comments"

My very raw view to what shall be exposed to users can be found at 
http://<see CR for detailed URL>
Please note that to build effective communication between project subsystem and compilers we will probably need to implement some special support in 
driver. That is relatively easy, but need to be specified in separate CR as soon as interface for the communication is defined.
