            Bug ID: 8846
           Summary: Orphaned/missing toolchain borks eclipse plugin
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: subwooferbone at gmail.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Using latest Buildroot Eclipse plugin.

Importing CDT project from another user, all build targets are gone. Eclipse
complains "An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
java.lang.NullPointerException".

C/C++ Build and C/C++ General pages of project properties are borked, null
pointers galore. 

Same behaviour with both Mars and Luna. Uninstalling the plugin makes the C/C++
options pages work again, but it is impossible to select another toolchain for
the projects defined with buildroot toolchains. Then complains about orphaned
toolchain.

Message sent to stderr: "Managed Build system manifest file error: Option
org.buildroot.home.bob.software_PI1509.platform.buildroot.output..toolchain.base.option.path.1204713667
uses a null category that is invalid in its context. The option was ignored."

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
Thanks for your bug report. However, this bug is not directly related to
Buildroot, but rather to its Eclipse plugin. Could you report it to the
Buildroot Ecplise plugin issue tracker available at
https://github.com/mbats/eclipse-buildroot-bundle/issues ?

In addition, I am not sure this can work by design. Indeed, a CDT project
definition will include a reference to the selected toolchain, which uses an
absolute path. This absolute path is relevant on the machine where the project
was created, but will not make sense on any other machine. Since I'm not an
Eclipse user, I have no idea how this is typically handled in other situations.
