Eclipse: C/C++ Plugin Download Link?

Question

I'm downloaded the Java EE version of Eclipse 3.5.1. Can I now use it to edit C/C++ with the proper plugin?

I went to Help >> Install New Software but I don't know which URL to use to get the C/C++ plugin. I can't find it on the Eclipse website either.

Solution 1

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ May be you need to download C/C++ IDE.

Solution 2

Just wanted to update the thread with the Juno (Eclipse 4.2) plugin link since I had some trouble finding it.

To install it on your existing eclipse go to Help >> Install New software >> Add and add the link: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/juno

If you need another version you can find it here.

Note that the update URL has changed from tracking the Eclipse name to an independent numeric version beginning with Luna:

CDT for Eclipse Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/8.6
CDT for Eclipse Mars - http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/8.8.1
CDT for Eclipse Neon - http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/9.0

Solution 3

1-In Eclipse (Juno) , go to " Help/Install new software" .

2- Install dialog appears , in front of "Work with:" input at the top row of dialog press the "Add..." button.

3- in the "Add Repository" dialog type something as name( for example CDT) and in the "Location" input box type: " http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/juno " and press OK.

If your connection to internet be good, after a while you should have "CDT main features" and "CDT Optional Features" appeared in the list.

Solution 4

You can download the package you want according to your eclipse version.

The CDT can either be installed as part of the Eclipse C/C++ IDE packaged zip file or installed into an existing Eclipse using the "Help->Install New Software->Add(near work with)" and provide following required URL:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/indigo.

Solution 5

Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2) Ubuntu: 14.04

Go to Help -> Install New Software

There is a text-box named "Work with".

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/8.6

Wait for 5 minutes (Pending will appear)

Then, select "CDT main features" and "CDT optional features"

Click Next

Accept the agreement license

It will start downloading.
