I have a very complex source tree containing multiple projects for multiple platforms, all managed by several makefiles. The most obvious problem to me is that Eclipse wants .project files at the root of all the project's files. My tree structure is something like this:
Makefile (recursively makes foo, bar, baz and biff)
arm/
arm/lib/...
arm/product/foo/Makefile (builds foo using source in arm/)
arm/product/bar/Makefile (builds bar using source in arm/)
x86/
x86/lib/...
arm/product/baz/Makefile (builds baz using source in arm/* and x86/)
arm/product/biff/Makefile (builds biff using source in arm/ and x86/*)
Is there any hope of managing this in Eclipse?
