<h2>Updating Carbide.c++</h2>
<p>Updates to Carbide.c++ current features are available using the <b class="step">Install New Software</b><b> </b>feature. This feature now makes use of the P2 provisioning system released in Eclipse 3.4 which provides a more robust updating mechanism for currently installed features as well as the adding of new ones to the Carbide environment.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/">Eclipse.org</a>. We then modify some of these base plug-ins to work with our Carbide plug-ins. This is important to know as any updates to those modified base plug-ins may cause Carbide not to work as intended. </p>
<p class="note"><span class="style2"><b>IMPORTANT</b> We recommend that you not install any updates for Carbide.c++ features except for those provided by Nokia via Install New Software. 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.</span></p>
