-         This extension point facilitates adding new toolchains generated from a different plugin to already defined template without modifying template definition.
+         This extension-point allows developers to specify toolchains that should be enabled for selection for use with a pre-existing template. This solves the problem over how ISV&apos;s can have templates defined and shipped with CDT support their own toolchains, without having to modify CDT itself.
