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.
</p>
<p>
To develop a program requires that you have installed one or more
development kits. The <i>Working with SDKs</i> tasks describes the
tasks for setting up and selecting the kits to use with your project.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
You can either import a
<code class="filename">bld.inf</code> file, in which case all the projects specified in that
component are imported, or import a single
<code>mmp</code> file. The two cases are discussed separately below.
</p>
<p>
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 for application information
files (AIF) and multi-bitmap files (MBM), as described in <i>Modifying
Resources</i>.
