It's still under development; possibly more passive than active right now. The work was based on the Eclipse 3.5 release for CDT and largely targetted Macs - though there were some patches/forks of my Git repository (http://github.com/alblue/objectiveclipse) to extend that to non-Mac platforms as well, and the parser had been updated to handle blocks.

However, the ObjectivEClipse runtime is highly dependent on the CDT parser's internals (not just the published API) with the result that any changes to the internals are likely to cause problems for this project. In fact, the parser for CDT has been completely jumbled around since the 3.5 stream, so this is definitely not compatible with CDT 7 in Eclipse 3.6 milestone builds, and likely is not going to work or move forwards with 3.6.

So at the least, to get working with 3.6 again requires a fair amount of work, and each time a new release comes out, a fair amount of work. This is likely to be unsustainable in the long/short run. Probably the only way for this to not be a problem is to integrate Objective-C support into the main CDT but we're about as close to that as we were when ObjectivEClipse was started.

With Eclipse Labs in place, would it be a good idea to host it there?
Would there be less effort to make it entirely separate from CDT
instead?
