Re: using eclipse to produce multiple targets or derivative projects

Yeah, the derivative projects thing is mostly about changing only a few of the files, and not wanting the changes to be done to the files in the main code that will run the real bot. The best example is the diagnostic load we wrote in 2004. We had a four wheel steered drive system, lots of controls on the OI, and wanted a diag code that exercised all that stuff but would not be extra code in the competition load. So we forked off a few files into a diagnostic program, and inherited all the rest. This is what doesn't seem exactly simple in the eclipse way of doing this. Although it's easy with eclipse in java, not so with this C setup.
