I don't know what will be the best way to implement this.

1. Implement everything in the project manager plugin
GtkWidget *ianjuta_project_manager_chooser_new (IAnjutaProjectManager 
*obj, GError **error);

The returned GtkWidget implement a new IAnjutaProjectChooser interface 
which has one function
GFile *ianjuta_project_chooser_get_active (IAnjutaProjectChooser *chooser)

+ Everything is implemented in the project manager plugin and can be 
changed easily
- We need one additional interface IAnjutaProjectChosser
- We cannot add the target selection widget in the gtk builder file, it 
has to be created in the program.


2. Add only functions in the project manager plugin
void ianjuta_project_manager_setup_target_chooser (IAnjutaProjectManager 
*obj, GtkWidget *combo, GError **error);
GFile ianjuta_project_manager_get_active (IAnjutaProjectManager *obj, 
GtkWidget *combo, GError **error);

+ Don't need an additional interface
+ We can add GtkComboBox or AnjutaTreeCombo in the gtk builder file and 
pass this widget to setup_target_chooser that will set the model and the 
appropriate view.
- The target selection combo box is not really an independent object as 
it needs the project manager.


3. Standardize project model.
GtkTreeModel ianjuta_project_manager_get_model (IAnjutaProjectManager 
*obj, GError **error);

GFile * anjuta_project_chooser_get_active (GtkWidget *combo);

+ We can add GtkComboBox or an AnjutaTreeCombo in the gtk builder file 
then get the model from the project manager and associate it with the 
combo box. As the model has some standard column, the view can be 
implemented in libanjuta.
- We need to standardize some column in the GtkTreeModel used by the 
project manager. Perhaps only one column containing the 
AnjutaProjectNode pointer could be enough.
