Installing the Carbide.c++ Plug-in SDK help

If you're just getting started with creating a Carbide.c++ plug-in you're probably looking at this help documentation from within Carbide.c++. But if you are setting up your development environment as described in Setting up your development environment you will find it much more useful to have the help available from within your plug-in development environment.

The following steps will show you how to install the latest version of the Carbide.c++ Plugin SDK into your plug-in development environment. If your network requires a proxy to access external Internet sites then follow the first two steps. Otherwise skip to step 3.

  1. From the menu bar choose Window > Preferences.


  2. Expand the General group and select Network Connections. Select Manual proxy configuration and enter your proxy information.



  3. From the menu bar choose Help > Software Updates > Find and Install...



  4. Select "Search for new features to install" and click Next.



  5. On the Update sites to visit page, you will need to add the Carbide.c++ update site. Press the "New Remote Site.." button.



  6. Fill in the update site information (http://tools.ext.nokia.com/updates/) with the latest major release version (carbide13) and press OK.



  7. The new site should now appear in the list of update sites. Press the Finish button.



  8. Eclipse will connect to the Carbide.c++ update site and display the available updates. The specific list may differ from the screenshot below, but the Carbide.c++ SDK item should be present. Select it and press Next and proceed through the rest of the installation.



  9. The SDK is now installed. You can import the latest version of the Examples plugin. The SDK help is under the "Carbide.c++ Plug-in Developer Guide" entry in the Eclipse online help.
