How to use an existing project as a template for a new one with Eclipse (CDT)?

I would like to use one of my projects where everything is fine-tuned and how to start working as a “template” to create a new project in eclipse using CDT.

So the time to set up and write a working draft can be safe, because it has already been done somewhere else.

Any clues?

You can always right-click on a project, select “copy”, and then press Ctrl + V (command + v on Mac) to paste a new copy of the project into the workspace and then delete the source files, t you need to leave only the project configuration .

Just some ideas:

  • You can also use File-> Export to export C / C ++ project settings and enable those that have the project itself (e.g. on git repo?)
  • You can create your “perfect” starter project and use it as a git repository. Then, when you want to use it, just clone and disable (in the command bar) the template. Finally, can you move on to the new repo?
  • Save the project as read-only and use it as a starting point (now use Save As) (not verified, just an idea).

Finally, if you want to do it right, you have to write a plugin! Hooray!

A good starting point if you choose this route from this SO link
