Subject: 24.1.50; EDE Mode only supports Make and Automake projects
Date: Tue, 08 May 2012 22:12:22 -0600

From the info file for EDE Mode:
"The `ede-new' command prompts for the type of project you would like
to create.  Each project type has its own benefits or language specific
enhancements.  EDE supports four different project types: `Make',
`Automake', `direct Automake', and `Simple'."

(global-ede-mode t)
M-x ede-new <TAB>

only lists Make and Automake projects in the completions buffer. `Simple'
and `direct Automake' projects are not available.

From the very same info node:

    You cannot create direct Automake projects with the `ede-new'
    command.  Instead, when you visit a project with existing Automake
    files, EDE automatically detects them.

Don't know about "simple" though.

Again from the same info node:

  * The `Simple' project type provides light-weight constructs for
     identifying a project root and looking up files.  If you already
     have a non-EDE project infrastructure, you can use a `Simple'
     project to provide other Emacs packages, such as Semantic, with
     some information about the project.  *Note Simple projects::.

So I assume that it is impossible to create a new "simple" project
because the very concept means a pre-existing, non-EDE project.

 Hmm...how do I create a Simple project then? There is no information 
about that and the whole node makes it sounds like I can create projects 
with ede-new (minus direct Automake, like you pointed out earlier).

I've no idea, I've never used EDE for anything. :)

There is a "Simple Projects" manual node, with a menu entry:

  * ede-simple subclassing:: Create your own simple project.

that looks promising. But...

   6.1.2 ede-simple Subclassing
   ----------------------------

   todo - Write some doc.

      In the meantime look in the commentary of ede-simple.el

Oh dear. The file is not even called ede-simple.el in Emacs, it is
ede/simple.el. Its commentary says:

   ;; NOTE: EDE Simple Projects are considered obsolete.  Use generic
   ;; projects instead.

So it gets worse! :)
"Generic projects" aren't mentioned at all in the manual AFAICS.

I'm mainly interested in pointing Semantic to project-specific includes. 
I thought Simple projects sounded...simple enough for that. ;)

Oh boy...I wonder if this has been cleaned up in the 'real' CEDET.

I am copying Eric. Maybe he can help assess what to do with this. This 
is just not good.

Thanks for looking into this Glenn.

We could easily fix it by adding a note in the manual in about "generic
projects", explaining that they can be setup by following the
instructions for "simple projects".

Eric fixed the docs upstream an I merged it into the emacs-24 branch. If
those changes are sufficient, this bug could be closed.
