Eclipse IDE different languages configuration - eclipse

my question may be silly but I am in a weird situation right now. I am currently using the latest edition of Eclipse IDE configured for android development ,downloaded from the android developers site. I am trying to install other languages to it like C++ and no matter what I do I get the binary not found when I try to compile a C++ programm. I installed different editions of compilers and I get the same problem .So here is my question:
Do I have to download a different edition of Eclipse to install the other languages or am I doing anything wrong?

Take a look at this tutorial on how to ready eclipse for C++, perhaps it will help you locate your problem

Eclipse is not starting on macOs

I have an issue with Eclipse,
Eclipse macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6
I keep getting JVM terminated exit code=1
I have tried too many times but the response is same after launching it.
I have downloaded it from Stanford's SEE section and still unable to launch. The error message is here.
I downloaded your course material, and it does indeed contain a really old version of Eclipse - as greg-449 pointed out, there's no way this is going to work on macOS High Sierra. Really surprised instructions from 2007 haven't been updated, but that's another matter.
It would seem that your course just requires Java, so you can use the automated Installer that you find on this page: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and then choose the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers in the wizard. Or you can download that package directly here, and install it.
Looking at your course material, it does appear that they have a custom plugin that makes regular Eclipse actions easier to execute, by adding a number of buttons to the Eclipse toolbar, you won't find these in a vanilla install. If you can find that plugin, you could try to install it into this version of Eclipse too, it might still work. If not, you can perform those steps manually - this video will help, as he shows you how to import and run these projects without those plugins, it's not hard!
It's not possible to say if the plugin adds functionality beyond what is normally possible in general Eclipse distributions, but I doubt it does. Good luck!

can eclipse C/C++ IDE be used for java too?

I have downloaded .tar.gz install file for C/C++ eclipse IDE.
Can it also be used for java or do I need additional ?
Yes it is, you should install the right plugin - JDT (look at Help->Install new Software)
Base on wiki link:
In computer programming, Eclipse is an integrated development
environment (IDE). It contains a base workspace and an extensible
plug-in system for customizing the environment.
That means Eclipse is just a platform, and you can install any plugins for eclipse. On Eclipse site, you see some packages such as Eclipse CDT Eclipse JDT ... Because they just want you to have a convenient environment for working: just download and run. You can download any versions, and install enough other plugins and they will works well. Here is some tutorials: official link and another nice link
But my recommendation is:
you don't know how "enough" is (as newbie). So the result will be hard because you don't choose enough packages for supporting your languages. And Eclipse Foundation has made it for you.
You shouldn't use many languages in same Eclipse distribution (although you can switch to other workspace easily). Many languages mean many installed packages, and this will slow down your eclipse so much because eclipse must loads more plugins into memory, loads more projects ... This is my experience. So, each language, each eclipse distribution, each workspace. That's a trick.
And answering directly to your question:YES. You can use that version for programming java, but will need to install JDT (Java Development Toolkit) plugin.
Hope this help :)

SWT project on Creme jvm, windows mobile 6.5

I am starting a java SWT project with creme 4.12 jvm for a windows mobile 6.5 pocket pc.
I really dont know where to start. could not google out any good documentation or example, just a few questions in forums.
I would like to know:
Is there any good docs around that i was unable to find?
Do i have to put any extra configuration on eclipse or i can create and build a simple java project, with sdk 1.3.
I have included the swt-32.dll as native library in swt.jar
i have tried to run it on the device but it crashes before running.
Sorry for the long question, but i really dont know what to do.
I have not that much experience with CrEme although I know that some large WM installs use that.
I can do an AWT app in netbeans and run it successfully on a device.
Look for the netbeans mobility pack to start with CrEme and netbeans.
OTOH you can go on with eclipse. Where did you get the swt files from? I found one source here http://davy.preuveneers.be/phoneme/?q=node/15.
Here is one source I found for an intro to SWT on WM: http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-small-cup-of-swt/pocket-PC.html

Eclipse editor not supporting java

I've installed eclipse on my new ubuntu 12.04 setup. I did the install through the software center. I went to create a Java project, but it looks like it doesn't have java development kit on it. I'm not sure why. I have never seen this after installing Eclipse. Any ideas why I wouldn't have any language support? It's basically just a bulky text editor at this point.
Default Eclipse in Ubuntu Software Center generally needs installation of extra packages, had the same problem many times. I strongly recommend downloading and installing from here.
You can download the java sdk and development tools right in eclipse which should fix your problem, I had the same problem before and that's how I solved it.

Setting up Eclipse for other programming languages

I have installed Eclipse (Helios) for the Java programming language, but I also want to use it for programming in C/C++, Python and Ruby. I've installed CDT and DLTK (for Python and Ruby).
I already had mingw-w64 (Windows platform) installed. How do I set up Eclipse so that it uses MinGW as the toolchain? It apparently detects MinGW as a toolchain, but when I create a project, two warnings already appear saying "error launching external scanner info generator". I'm assuming this is because it can't find the compiler program. Also, it doesn't detect any of the standard-library header files. Could these problems be because I'm using mingw-w64 rather than the standard MinGW?
I have Ruby working, but as for Python, it cannot find the interpreter nor the default system library. I have Python 2.7 already installed. I don't know how to tell Eclipse where to look for the files.
Note: I am on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I've heard of people on 64-bit versions of Vista having trouble getting mingw-w64 to work. I may be having the same problem. Ignoring Eclipse, when I try to compile a C file using gcc, it has trouble finding the libraries and includes.
Edit: If I set the path to /bin/ and /libexec/ via environmental variables, I don't get the initial errors when creating a project, but, what I want to know is, how could I set the paths via Eclipse? Also, even if I set the paths, the linker still can't find the libraries and includes. I went to Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings and tried to set the libraries and includes that way, but it still couldn't find them (the libraries, at least)! Moreover, would I really have to do this for every project? This option isn't available in Window > Preferences.
As for the python part, I recommend using pydev: http://pydev.org/
It's the best eclipse plugin for python. From code completion, syntax highlighting, virtualenv support (http://pydev.blogspot.com/2010/04/pydev-and-virtualenv.html) and so on...
If you are into web development,
from javascript, php, html, python, ruby... you also might want to take a look at aptana.
http://www.aptana.com/
It's a eclipse based IDE with lots of goodies working out of thebox, like git and subversion plugins, pydev etc... aptana is (or was, I switched IDE) installable as a plugin in a regular eclipse)
Martin K. link looks good for mingw part.
