<h2>Getting Started</h2>
<p>
The Symbian OS plug-ins for the Eclipse environment help provide support
for developers to create and build C++ programs that run on Symbian OS.
</p>
<p>
The plug-ins provide the following support to Symbian OS developers:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<b>Project Support</b>: developers can create new Symbian OS
projects based on provided templates. Projects can also be
<a href="../tasks/ImportingProjects.html">imported</a> from the traditional <span class="ProgramOutput">bld.inf</span> file formats.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<b>Build Support</b>: The Symbian OS plug-ins eliminate the
need to use command line build tools to ease Symbian OS development.
Programs can be built and run from within the IDE. The developer can
also choose to build the binary automatically while saving the project.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<b>SDK Support</b>: users of the Carbide.c++ IDE can use a predefined series of <a href="../sos_references.htm">supported SDKs</a>. Developers can choose which of their
installed SDKs to work with for a particular project. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Documentation is available in the <b>C/C++ Development Toolkit User Guide</b> (CDT) for the Symbian OS plug-ins that work with the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT). Programming for Symbian OS based platforms is described in the
documentation supplied with the development kit that you use. Please consult
that documentation for further information on Symbian OS concepts and
development processes.</p>
