[anjuta-devel] new project manager UI

[Abderrahim Kitouni <a kitouni gmail com>]

Hello Sébastien, all;

I wanted to test the new (final) API for a project backend, so I ported
a (half-finished) BuilDj backend I had floating around over from the old
API, and I found a problem with the project manager: it doesn't show
targets that aren't in a group.

Indeed, looking at the code shows that it looks only for groups and
modules in the children of the root node (and for some other things in
groups etc.), and adding the same code for targets shows them without
problems. IMO, it shouldn't restrict what is shown based on its type. It
should be possible to write a, say, ant project backend and start using
it without anjuta knowing anything about it (backends that anjuta knows
about would have nicer icons, etc. but others should work as well). What
do you think?

btw, I didn't find what to put in the is_loaded method, wouldn't it make
more sense if it was in the project manager? As the project manager
already keeps track of what is loaded, I think it doesn't add much if
the project backend also does it (I know I'm the one who asked for this
API and I didn't complain about it at the time, but since I bumped into
it recently I thought I would ask).

Regards,
Abderrahim
