It seems like you are working to extract information
from the RTEMS Application Makefiles and generate
some configuration information for Eclipse.  Chris

Couldn't the same information be directly generated
by RTEMS?

step back and see what is the right thing long term
from a very high level view. :-D

Keep going.  Make it work first.
