C++ and Eclipse

[alain]

Has anybody tried to use Eclipse as IDE with C++? It uses the GNU (gcc, g++) toolset to compile, debug and link

I was reading some articles today and it looks as a viable solution for development in Windows and Linux.

Alain,
Eclipse is native IDE for Java. You need to install CDT plugin to use C++. From what I heard, it's not as good as using a native C++ IDE.
I recommend Anjuta or KDevelope. I'll install both of them this week on top of Ubuntu and let you know.

I use a version of Eclipse at work to develop in Java. It is IBM implementation on their product: Websphere Application Developer. I think Eclipse is very good but IT IS HUGE!!!

Agree with Andy -- I used to use Anjuta on Linux, it is awesome, I loved it!!

Here is a screenshot of Anjuta on top of Ubuntu. I just got ubuntu installed on my T60 so I haven't had time to play with it yet but it looks great. Ubuntu is so nice to play with and Anjuta is a perfect C++ developing platform
