0000518: Can not create project features for MiXiM case

Notes
(0000682) andras (administrator) 2012-01-11 14:32	Could not reproduce... Checked out github:omnetpp/mixim, imported it, re-created the project files (as it wasn't recognized as CDT project after importing???), marked examples/ and tests/ as NED source folders, added the .oppfeatures file from this bug report --> and it worked, we didn't get the errors you mentioned. What did we do differently from you?

(0000683) michael (reporter) 2012-01-11 14:37	Have you tried to switch the project features on/off?

(0000695) andras (administrator) 2012-01-17 17:09	I could reproduce this: > Other point is that the NED file parser run without ending. I see always "Checking NED files..." The problem is not that "org.mixim" contains a dot while "inet" does not, but rather that MiXiM defines features that turns on/off a whole NED tree (examples/ and tests/). INET does not have such feature. When such a feature is turned off, a bug causes the IDE to continually load, unload, load, unload, load, unload... the package.ned file in that folder. That is continually causing changes in the IDE's internal NED database, and each change triggers a "Checking NED files" job.

(0000696) andras (administrator) 2012-01-17 17:22	Fixed the above primary problem (that a package that refers to a whole NED source tree could not be excluded). One small issue remains: when you turn off "Examples" or "Tests", the Project Features page will complain that there aren't such packages as "org.mixim.examples" or "org.mixim.tests" anywhere. There's no loss of functionality. The warning is due to the fact that the disabled feature excludes those packages (see the NED Source Folders page!), and so the IDE is not allowed to load the package.ned files that would declare those packages. This is just a small quirk and hard to fix cleanly, so it's left in for the time being. Perhaps it would be better (more practical/useful for endusers) to set up MiXiM's features so that each feature is just a subset of the stuff in examples/ or tests/, not a whole subtree. The CDT exception (stack trace you posted) is unrelated, and I couldn't reproduce it (btw, MiXiM repo currently cannot be imported, because contents of the .csettings dir is not checked in -- that stuff is logically part of .cproject, but the CDT folks decided to split it for some reason...)

(0000697) andras (administrator) 2012-01-17 17:24	Closing because the primary issue is fixed in 4.2.1. If there are remaining issues, they should be entered as separate bugs.
