Installing Eclipse IDEs for Java and C/C++
Solution 1
Your first question
No, you can't download the C/C++ libraries from within eclipse, like Pydev.
Your second question
-
Install Eclipse JEE and Eclipse C/C++ in separate folders in
/opt
eg:/opt/eclipse-cpp /opt/eclipse-jee
-
Create two different desktop files in
~/.local/share/applications
-
~/.local/share/applications/eclipse_cpp.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Eclipse C++ Comment=Eclipse Integrated Development Environment Icon=eclipse Exec=/opt/eclipse-cpp/eclipse StartupNotify=true StartupWMClass=Eclipse-CPP
-
~/.local/share/applications/eclipse_jee.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Eclipse JEE Comment=Eclipse Integrated Development Environment Icon=eclipse Exec=/opt/eclipse-jee/eclipse StartupNotify=true StartupWMClass=Eclipse-Java
-
-
During the first start of both Eclipse distributions, select a different workspace folder for each of them, eg
workspace-cpp workspace-jee
Alternatively you can change the workspace folder in Eclipse itself via File > Switch Workspace
Now you can use both distributions in parallel.
Solution 2
You can install eclipse from the software center and then open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt g++

I'm running an Ubuntu 14.04 and want to install the Eclipse IDE for both Java and C/C++ programming. I installed the separate installation files from their official website. I followed this thread here. (The top answer)
The steps helped me install the Java IDE but I don't know what changes I should make to the procedure to install the C/C++ IDE.
Another thread here, recommended to install
eclipse-cdt
but the Eclipse version installed is outdated. (Doesn't allow me to install Pydev)I have TWO questions:
Can the C/C++ libraries be downloaded from within eclipse, like Pydev?
If not, how do I install both IDEs without interfering with each other?
P.S. I commented this query in the first thread but got no reply, that is why I'm asking a fresh question!
