This section will describe how to set up a basic Eclipse development environment to develop a plugin against the Carbide.c++ development environment.
Carbide.c++ is developed against the Eclipse 3.4 release build which includes the Java Development Tools (JDT) and Plug-in Development Environment (PDE). You will need these items as well as the Carbide.c++/CDT source code to develop Eclipse/Carbide.c++ plug-ins. If you want to install the CDK you will need to run the Software Updates under the Help menu to update your installation to include the CDK.
For more information on running the Software Updater please see the page Updating Carbide.c++.
Once you have your Carbide environment updated to include the CDK, you can create new Eclipse plug-in projects and debug the Carbide.c++ sources. How to create eclipse plug-ins is beyond the scope of this demonstration. If you want to debug any of the Carbide.c++ or Ecilpse platform source follow these steps to verify your CDK isntallation:
