Description Svata Dedic 2002-05-24 13:30:14 UTC 
Various tool implementation may require its own
custom settings. The project system should be able
to register such requirement, adding UI (provided
by the tool's implementor) at appropriate places.
For example, if a module that defines "Jikes"
compiler will be registered, additional
Jikes-specific settings like +F may appear
alongside with
standard compiler options.
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2003-04-06 16:02:45 UTC 
IMO this will require some API/SPI support. It's necessary for both
platform-registered and standalone tools.
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2003-04-28 14:51:16 UTC 
There is no GUI for this in the UI spec, however the concept is valid
and needed. So, adding Chis and Jan to cc and filling the issue to HIE.
Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2003-09-04 09:12:16 UTC 
Probably will not be in the first version, also it should not be
directly in the Java module, another module for this job should be
introduced.
