I use Eclipse to program in Java and , having already familiar with this development environment , I would use it for C/C++ projects.
Version: Eclipse SDK 4.2.2 (Juno)
O.S.: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
I installed the CDT plugin by following the italian guide of the ubuntu documentation:
http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Programmazione/Eclipse#CDT
The only difference is that, at point 4, I have not included the source shown (Galileo), but the my version (Juno)
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/juno
it's ok, found the source
CDT Main Features
CDT Optional Features
the installation is successful (indeed Eclipse show me CDT as the latest software installed, and an subsequent attempt to reinstall, Eclipse returns an error that it is already installed)
The problem is that when I restart Eclipse , I have no change. For instance , if I open the menu " File -> New -> Other" , I have no additional option to create a new C/C++ project.
I regularly installed on my computer the C/C++ compiler (gcc and g++ , version 4.6.3).
I also tried to install the plugin from the terminal:
sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt
no change.
I search through the options in Eclipse to see if it was a problem enabling views of items in the menu, but nothing. Even in the "Window -> Preferences" I have no "C/C++" category .
I also changed my workspace ..... nothing .
Please help me, thanks
i had the same issue. i installed the latest eclipse, luna and mars. both had the c/c++ development tools.
my development environment had an older version of java installed, i.e. 1.6. apparently, luna/mars require 1.7 to be installed. i, at first, modified the eclipse.ini file to
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
i started eclipse and the c/c++ project was not available. so i couldn't create a c/c++ project because it wasn't available in the wizard.
i updated my java to 1.7 on my machine; changed the eclipse.ini file back
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
then started eclipse. viola. the option to create a c/c++ project is now available.
so basically, it seems that the newer eclipse requires 1.7 java. otherwise, it will disable features.
First of all, you have to open "C/C++ perspective". Try to go to menu "Window--Open Perspective -- Other--C/C++".
When you are in C/C++ perspective you should be able to create a new C/C++ project.
Also if you already have a loaded project, you can to convert to C++ project. Simply select it and then follow the right-click menu: "New" -- "Convert to a C/C++ Project (Adds C/C++ Nature)". Alternatively, simply go to menu File--New--Convert to C/C++ Project and it will show the list of all projects.
But again, the first and major step is to switch to C/C++ perspective.
Good luck!
I have a Java project and a C project. I would like to use the Eclipse IDE to work on each project. To accomplish this I ended out downloading a version of ecliplse for C and a version for Java. Seems like I should only need 1 ide and then "switch perspectives" when I switch to work on a different project. However, the "Java" perspective is not available in the dropdown when the C version of eclipse is running, and vica-versa.
Do I really need two ides?
Download one IDE. Go to the Eclipse Marketplace and install the other one. It will have both plugins installed for a single Eclipse IDE installation.
No,
you can easily install the CDT features in a Java version of eclipse, or vice-versa, but I would add C++ to Java.
Once the features are installed the C++ projects can be opened and it is indistinguishable from the prepackaged version.
There is no magic there.
Help --> Install New Software --> Select helios repository (with a version indicator)
wait till the package list appears
Open the Programming Languages folder and select the CDT packages.
Typically eclipse complains so;e dependencies are missing, so select those too and it'll install.
I have installed eclipse Helios c/c++ on my Ubuntu 10.04.
Now I can easily develop c or c++ application.
Now my problem is that I want to use Java on this eclipse.
I know that eclipse is made for Java .
But I use eclipse Helios c/c++(Its a new eclipse for developing c or c++ application).
In this IDE You don't find the option of making Java project .
Can anyone tell me how to write Java application in this IDE( Eclipse -Helios c/c++)?
can anyone tell me how to do this ?
Go to the Help menu, then Install New Software.
In the "Work with" box, drop it down and select Helios - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios. Wait for the Name box to populate. Go down to Programming Languages and click it.
Select "Eclipse Java Development Tools".
Click through the installation, selecting that you agree to the license terms (assuming you do).
Restart Eclipse.
In the upper right hand corner, there's a tiny icon that looks like panes of glass, and it probably has an icon next to it that says C/C++. Click that, and open up the Java perspective.
I have download the Eclipse IDE for Java developer, HELIOS. I click 'File -> New -> Project...', but I only have "General, CVS, Java project, Examples". I would like to be able to create "dynamic web project", why do I not have this option?
I searched from internet, and the reason is probably I don't have Eclipse Web Development Tools, but how can I get it?
-----------EDIT-----------
I know by install Eclipse IDE for Java EE developer can solve the problem. But, I am working under Linux Ubuntu, how to get Eclipse Java EE version for Ubuntu Linux machine?
Not all of them are required (I think), but after installing the components listed below I got the "Dynamic Web Project" template added to my Eclipse (Indigo). The list is:
Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools
Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
You can install those packages by clicking on "Help" > "Install New Software", selecting the repository that corresponds to your Eclipse build (i.e http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo for Indigo). The packages are grouped under "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development".
I think you need the Web Tools Platform package for this. Not very sure though. You can add it to your current eclipse through Help > install new software.
Then add the software repository site location for WTP for your version of eclipse. This is how you can install plugins in eclipse.
"http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler"(If you have Eclipse Kepler)
Based on your eclipse choose above link and copy in
help>Install new software
paste in "work with" click add
give any name you want - plugin
In the list select>"Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development">Eclipse Java EE
Developer Tools. select and install it.
After restart you will have your Dyanmic web project option.
Thank You.
Like me if it worked please
You only need to install
Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools
and you will be able to see "Dynamic web project" wizard.
Download Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, everything you need should be included inside. This is the most painless way of obtaining Web Development Tools.
If you want to leave your existing Eclipse IDE, you can go to 'Help -> Install New Software' and find WDT to install them, although I haven't personally tried to go this route, so I can't guarantee everything will work out of the box.
Edit: not sure if it's included in Ubuntu's repository. One other way to do it is to download Linux 32-bit (or 64-bit, depending on your machine) version of Eclipse EE, but you'll have to check if it's the source you have to compile yourself, or an already compiled binary.
Fwiw, I downloaded the standard Java EE version of the Mars version of Eclipse, and ran into the same deal -- didn't see a Web option if I tried File >>> New >>> Project wizard.
The good news: Probably no extra installation needed.
It looks like what I wanted was to select the Other option rather than the Project item (strangely this is what comes up when you hit Ctrl-N, but that also lets us know we're probably on the right track):
After you select "Other", you'll see the "Select a wizard" screen, where you can select "Dynamic Web Project" and profit.
HELP
Install New Software
In Work With input box paste this url: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/{version}/
Replace version with your eclipse's version (eg: LUNA)
Hit enter
Underneath box will have different options, select package of your need.
Maybe Eclipse WTP plugin has been accidently removed. Have you tried re-installing WTP using this location ? If I were you I would have reinstall Eclipse from strach or even better try Spring ToolSuite which integrates with Google Plugin for Eclipse seamlessly (usign Extenstions tab on STS Dashboard)
Just download any eclipse with "EE" letters
I had a similar problem, you may find that going to the top right corner of your page in Eclipse and click "Java EE" instead of "Java" will solve your problem. I had EE installed correctly like you, and this solved the issue for me. Hope I helped :)
Go to Eclipse --> Help
and click--->Install new software
then you can see a window ...There a click add
Then put below url in url box: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/juno/
i am having juno
if u have any other means put that name .
then click ok.
Make sure to check dynamic web app in "other section" i.e File>New>Other>Web or type in "dynamic web app" in your wizard filter. If dynamic web app is not there then follow following steps:
On Eclipse Menu Select HELP > INSTALL NEW SOFTWARE
In work with test box simply type in your eclipse version, which is oxygen in my case
Once you type in yur version something like this "Oxygen - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen"will be recommended to you in drop down
If you do not get any recommendation then simply copy " http://download.eclipse.org/releases/your-version" and paste it. Make sure to edit your-version.
After you Enter the address and press enter bunch of new softwares will be listed just ubderneath work with text box.
Scroll, find and Expand WEB, XML, Java EE .... tab
Select only these three options: Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools, Eclipse Java Web Developer Tools,Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Next, next and finish!
The easiest way to handle this is to install the full package installer with all weblogic add ons from the oracle site. This will install eclipse with all the features/plug ins you need.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/oepe-network-installer-2371168.html
This helped me find the "Dynamic web project" in Eclipse 2020-12 version. Restart the eclipse and go to file->new->other->web and you will see
project will be available.
This option might be missing because more than one and other than Tomcat runtime is selected. At the marked spot I was shown that I have selected Java JDK runtime. After unselecting it Dynamic Web Module reappeared.
I have the eclipse CDT installed, and I would like to install Java development functionality (JDT) on top of my CDT installation. I've been Googling from an hour but I can't figure out how to do this.
What plugin do I need to install? What update site do I need to use?
All versions of Eclipse have a standard base, then a specific set of plugins, depending on the version. All you have to do is go to the Help > Install New Software menu, select the Eclipse update site (e.g. "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo"), and under the Programming Languages section, select Eclipse Java Development Tools.
If you don't see the Java Development Tools in the list, click on the "already installed" link on the install page--you may already have the Java tools installed.
Remember to write http:// before the download.eclipse..... if you don't put that it won't work
For Eclipse 2020-06 the weakest precondition seems to be
1.) JDK 11
2.) eclipse.ini has top entries
-vm
<jdk-11/jre-11 path>/bin
3.) JDT appears in "Install New Software" repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-06 as "Eclipse Java Development Tools"
NOTE: Installation of Java 11 is not required, downloading/extracting ZIP File is sufficient, e.g. if you prefer to continue development with Java 8
Update for Eclipse Release 2021-3
Here, with the JDT-Release JDK 11 or later is already installed
Choose Menu Help->Install New Software,
Select Work With: "2021-03 - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2021-03"
Filter "Development Tools"
Select "C/C++ Development Tools SDK"
Complete Installation with Next ... Restart Eclipse
