## Updating Carbide.c++

Updates to Carbide.c++ current features are available using the Software Updates feature.

Carbide is a collection of difference software projects combined into a working environment for Symbian OS C/C++ development. At its base Carbide uses Eclipse and CDT projects from Eclipse.org. We then modify some of these base plug-ins to work with our Carbide plug-ins. This is important for you to know as any updates to those modified base plug-ins may cause Carbide to not work as intended.

IMPORTANT We recommend that you not install any updates for Carbide.c++ features except for those provided by Nokia via Software Update. Replacing any standard Eclipse plugin with an updated version from a non-Nokia update site can result in Carbide.c++ no longer working as intended.
