+# 2026-01-07 Meeting Notes
+
+## Agenda
+
+- State of Embedded CDT project
+
+
+## Minutes
+
+### Embedded CDT
+
+- https://eclipse-embed-cdt.github.io/
+- Belongs to IoT TLP: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/iot.embed-cdt
+- Contributes to SimRel and is packages in dedicated "Eclipse IDE for Embedded C/C++ Developers" EPP package: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2025-12/r/eclipse-ide-embedded-cc-developers
+- Lacks maintenance
+  - Problematic dependencies
+    - Hard-coded dependencies
+    - Outdated dependencies as wide range of Eclipse Platform versions should be supported
+  - No maintainer (with time) available
+  - EPP package did have +1 to confirm testing for quite a while and some parts do currently not seem to be working (e.g., tutorial)
+- It might be necessary to drop from SimRel and remove EPP product in the current release cycle
+- A general alternative for the many EPP products we have could be to favor default products and provide extensions via marketplace
+  - Does not solve the issue of the unmaintained plug-ins here
+
