Obtaining Eclipse + CDT

Eclipse IDE is an IDE written in Java that was initially for developing java programs. In the years lots of projects have used eclipse as a base for their own applications. One such project is the "C Development Tools" or CDT [http://

Download Eclipse from Here. Download Page

CDT can be downloaded from here. CDT Download

It is important to match CDT with the proper Eclipse version.


CMake Editor Plugin for Eclipse

There is also an editor plug-in for Eclipse available (see above): CMake Editor.

Eclipse + CDT Version Information

CDT 3.1.2 goes with Eclipse 3.2 --> These are the stable versions as of May 2007.
CDT 4.0 is a Major step forward and needs Eclipse 3.3 to run. Both of these projects are in Beta release as of May 2007. The final releases are supposed to be around mid June 2007.
As of June 4 2007, if you want to try the latest versions then Eclipse 3.3RC2 and CDT 4.0 RC2 are the matched pair that you will need.

Getting Eclipse updated with CDT is fairly easy if you download the tar.gz files for both Eclipse and CDT. Untar the Eclipse distribution. This will create a directory called "eclipse". Now untar CDT distribution so that the output from CDT merges with the "eclipse" directory. This is easiest done if both the eclipse distribution and the cdt distribution files are in the same directory. Then merely run tar -xvzf on both tar.gz files.
