Hi,
Can anyone tell me which is the latest stable
eclipse and corresponding myeclipse version
when I want to use the C/C++ (cdt) plug-in?I’ve tried the M6 which didn’t seem to work or
was it me who did something wrong? Is there
an installation readme file? As you can see I’m
new to this platform.thank you

Joseph,
If you just want C/C++ support then what you want is the latest “Full” release of the CDT plugin.To be more specific you want to download this:
http://download2.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-2.1.1-200306271545/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-2.1.1-win32.zipThe MyEclipse product doesn’t provide any C/C++ functionalities and won’t play a role in your C/C++ development. However if you were looking at the MyEclipse product as a good plugin for web development (CSS, XML, HTML) then it will help with that, but its focus is really on Java Web Application development.
Joseph, also note that I was assuming you are on Windows, if you aren’t you can go to the CDT plugin page here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/cdt-home/downloads/main.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project#1.2.1RC1and pick the appropriate full build (full means the Eclipse platform + CDT plugin)
Okay, we are on Linux. We are Java developers but need to write some native code in C/C++ and it is always nice to have a project in one IDE independent of development languages.
Yes, I’m fine now. Thank you. BTW, do you know of any books – or event better pdf’s – which describe the usage, differences, features of the new (3.0) eclipse and corresponding myeclipse platform?
Thanks

Joseph,
As far as new features in Eclipse 3.0 (including JDT) I always just read the “New and Noteworth” sections of the M-releases. As far as new additions to the CDT plugin, I don’t have any idea.Also, the functionality between ME 2.7 and 3.7 are identical and covered mostly by the tutorials here:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=16and features are enumerated on this matrix here:
