Support for Eclipse IDE

Mbed OS

When mbed was first released this article inspired me to start using Eclipse as an offline IDE. It worked pretty brilliantly, being Eclipse as configurable as it is, and given OpenOCD debug is supported. But the thing is, at first mbed projects were straight C++, now with mbedOS it seems to me a large amount of… stuff, is being defined in .json files, which makes it kinda impossible for code completion to work properly and populates my code with a ton of undefined symbol warnings.

Is it my mistake, or the way Yotta environment was designed is really making it a lot dificult to integrate to it with standard C/C++ development tools?

I mean, why store pin labeling and things like that in a .json? If it was done in a standard .h file it would be much cleaner and… well standard.
