documentation/adt-manual/adt-intro.xml: Edits to introduction chapter
I edited the text so that the purpose of the manual is clearer. I have segmented out the ADT into distinct components and made sure the overviews of each is good. Edits to clarify the role of the ADT as well.

Welcome to the Application Development Toolkit User’s Guide. This manual provides
|

information that lets you get going with the ADT to develop projects using the Yocto
|

Project.
|

Welcome to the Yocto Project Application Developer's Guide.
|

This manual provides information that lets you begin developing applications

using the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project provides an application development environment based on
|
||||
an Application Development Toolkit (ADT).
|
||||
This manual describes the ADT and how you can configure and install it.
|
||||
You will also learn how to customize the development packages installation,
|
||||
learn about the Eclipse Yocto Plug-in, and learn how to use command line
|
||||
development for both Autotools-based and Makefile-based projects.

Fundamentally, the ADT consists of an architecture-specific cross-toolchain and
|
||||
a matching sysroot that are both built by the OpenEmbedded build system Poky.
|
||||
The toolchain and sysroot are based on a metadata configuration and extensions,
|
||||
which allows you to cross-develop on the host machine for the target.
|
||||
Part of the Yocto Project development solution is an Application Development
|
||||
Toolkit (ADT).
|
||||
The ADT provides you with a custom-built, cross-development
|
||||
platform suited for developing a user-targeted product application.
|
||||

|

|

<para>
|
||||
Additionally, to provide an effective development platform, the Yocto Project
|
||||
makes available and suggests other tools you can use with the ADT.
|
||||
These other tools include the Eclipse IDE Yocto Plug-in, an emulator (QEMU),
|
||||
and various user-space tools that greatly enhance your development experience.
|
||||
Fundamentally, the ADT consists of the following:
|
||||
<itemizedlist>
|
||||
<listitem><para>An architecture-specific cross-toolchain and matching
|

|
||||
which allows you to cross-develop on the host machine for the target hardware.

development experience.</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>

</para>
|

|

<para>
|

The resulting combination of the architecture-specific cross-toolchain and sysroot
|
||||
along with these additional tools yields a custom-built, cross-development platform
|
||||
for a user-targeted product.

The Eclipse IDE is a popular development environment and it fully supports
|
||||
development using the Yocto Project.
|
||||
When you install and configure the Eclipse Yocto Project Plug-in into
|
||||
the Eclipse IDE, you maximize your Yocto Project experience.
|
||||
Installing and configuring the Plug-in results in an environment that
|
||||
has extensions specifically designed to let you more easily develop software.
|
||||
These extensions allow for cross-compilation, deployment, and execution of
|
||||
your output into a QEMU emulation session.
|
||||
You can also perform cross-debugging and profiling.
|
||||
The environment also supports a suite of tools that allows you to perform
|
||||
remote profiling, tracing, collection of power data, collection of
|
||||
latency data, and collection of performance data.
