This section explains the different tasks that can be performed using the Symbian OS plug-ins for Eclipse. It provides step-by-step instructions for performing each task.
To develop a program requires that you have installed one or more development kits. The Working with SDKs tasks describes the tasks for setting up and selecting the kits to use with your project.
Next, program creation is described. This can be done either by creating a new project through a wizard, or by importing an existing Symbian OS project file.
You can either import a
bld.inf
file, in which case all the projects specified in that
component are imported, or import a single
mmp
file. The two cases are discussed separately below.
You can then add and build code in the project. This is mostly done using the standard CDT tools and techniques. The plug-ins through also offer special support for the Symbian OS specific file formats and multi-bitmap files (MBM), as described in Modifying Resources.
