-Cpp Eclipse Projects
-=====================
-
-For additional information on using Eclipse CDT see
-`the MDN page
-<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Eclipse_CDT>`_.
-
-The build system contains alpha support for generating C++ Eclipse
-project files to aid with development.
-
-Please report bugs to bugzilla and make them depend on bug 973770.
-
-To generate a C++ Eclipse project files, you'll need to have a fully
-built tree::
-
- mach build
-
-Then, simply generate the Eclipse build backend::
-
- mach build-backend -b CppEclipse
-
-If all goes well, the path to the generated workspace should be
-printed.
-
-To use the generated Eclipse project files, you'll need to
-have a Eclipse CDT 8.3 (We plan to follow the latest Eclipse release)
-`Eclipse CDT plugin
-<https://www.eclipse.org/cdt/>`_
-installed. You can then import all the projects into Eclipse using
-*File > Import ... > General > Existing Projects into Workspace*
--only- if you have not ran the background indexer.
-
-Updating Project Files
-======================
-
-As you pull and update the source tree, your C++ Eclipse files may
-fall out of sync with the build configuration. The tree should still
-build fine from within Eclipse, but source files may be missing and in
-rare circumstances Eclipse's index may not have the proper build
-configuration.
-
-To account for this, you'll want to periodically regenerate the
-Eclipse project files. You can do this by running ``mach build
-&& mach build-backend -b CppEclipse`` from the
-command line.
-
-Currently, regeneration rewrites the original project files. **If
-you've made any customizations to the projects, they will likely get
-overwritten.** We would like to improve this user experience in the
-future.
