Documented Components

The following documents provide further information about some of the key components in Eclipse CDT. These documents are in addition to the API documentation that is part of the code. In addition there are CDT/Archive/designs archived design documents that contain information and discussion about components as they were implemented. The archived documents do contain useful information, but some of it may be out of date and links may be broken. Documentation that is relevant and up to date should be listed here.
