[Coin-bcpdiscuss] Use CBC to solve MINLP problems

[Edson Valle]

       Hello

I´m planning to work in a MINLP solver using the SBB (Spatial Branch and 
Bound). Since CBC already has many features, I would like to base the 
MINLP solver on it. My questions are :
1)it is possible to use IPOPT instead of CLP in CBC? Sugestions?
2)it is possible to simply solve a MIP problem with the branch and bound 
algorithm (without add cutting planes)?

Thanks
