Couldn't find MSVC toolchain in eclipse though Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 is installed - eclipse

I want to build a static library using MSVC compiler. And I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and it is functional. But I haven't found any toolchain or compiler for MSVC in eclipse project properties so that I can build the static library for windows. Gone through several links. But no luck.
I want to know how I can get MSVC as compiler or toolchain in the compiler/toolchain option of eclipse project properties.

Issue is solved. I am posting the solution so that if anyone faces the same problem, then it would help them.
The probable root cause was, I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and was running Eclipse Kepler CDT. And this version of eclipse CDT doesn't recognize MSVC2012.
After installing the latest eclipse CDT which is Eclipse Mars, it discovered the toolchain for Visual C++ successfully and worked fine.
So, I would suggest to use Eclipse Mars for avoiding these types of situations.

how to upgrade eclipse in appcelerator studio

How do you upgrade the Eclipse version in Appcelerator Studio from 4.4.2 to Neon or Oxygen? I am working on PyDev projects and getting the error please update your Eclipse to 4.6 or later.
Simply adding the URL to the installation source allows add-ons but does not upgrade the Eclipse Platform. I already have Oxygen loaded on my development station. Is there a way to use that version rather than the built in version
Platform OSX 10.13, Python 2.7, Appcelerator Studio 4.10.0.201709271713, PyDev 6.0.0.2017xxxx
You can't upgrade Appcelerator Studio eclipse base version. Studio 4.10.0 comes with the Eclipse 4.4.2
However, it's planned for future release https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TISTUD-7565
Please provide more details about your problem in the above ticket.

Convert Nsight Eclipse project to Visual Studio

I have a CUDA project in Nsight Eclipse under Linux, but one of the machine where I have to test my code uses Windows 8 with Visual Studio 2012 Professional. How can I convert my project from the Eclipse edition to the Visual Studio edition? Or if it is not possible, at least how can I compile to Windows application from Nsight Eclipse under Linux?
You cannot do either. You will need to create a Visual Studio project on Windows using your existing source files.
Unless you are using some Linux-specific libraries in your host code, you should not run into any problems on Windows.

Visual Studio toolchain plugin in Eclipse Indigo

few links on Internet (ex:

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums//lofiversion/index.php/t74268.html
)
point out that there is a VS toolchain plugin for Eclipse Indigo which integrates Visual Studio (Express) into CDT. Can someone point out where to download it from?
Thanks,
D.
Download eclipse (preferably for c++) development. THen goto help menu in eclipse and select an option to install new software (plugins). Select all sources and search for visual studio. Select plugin and install it (you don't have to worry where it comes from).

After instaling ARM eclipse plugin in eclipse indigo clicking when clicking on new C/C++ project dothing happens

I installed ARM Code Sourcery G++ Lite
Installed Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers indigo
Installed ARM eclipse plugin
And few things happen now:
After clicking on new C/C++ plugin nothing happens.
The Code Sourcery toolchain seems not to be supported.
When I try to select it I always get:
Internal Error:
org.eclipse.cdt.cross.arm.gnu.sourcery.windows.IsToolChainSupported.isSupported(Lorg/eclipse/cdt/managedbuilder/core/IToolChain;Lorg/osgi/framework/Version;Ljava/lang/String;)Z
Any idea what how to fix those issues?
It works for Indgo already. See bug in ARM eclipse plugin.
Using version 0.5.4 fixes the problem.
Known Bug in ARM eclipse plugin, it does not work with CDT indigo yet.
