Hello!
Is there a simple "Hello World!" example for C++ (Eclipse HELIOS) that runs as easily as Java runs? I am satisfied with Eclipse when working with Java, but it seems to be unnecessarily complicated when creating a simple C++ project. For instance, you just compile a code written in Java, but you have to do additional steps, if you want to compile a C++ project.
Obviously, Eclipse does not have a kind of wizard that eases all preparations for a project, like installing make, CygWin, MingW, creating the make file etc. Or is there a way to create a project just by writing a make.cpp and the class files? Actually, one who wants to start with a C++ project may not know about such details and will be frustrated.
The link www. codingrecipes .com /eclipse-launch-failed-binary-not-found-and-netbeans indicates comfortable IDEs exist for C++, but Eclipse seems not to be one of them.
Thank you for your answers.
Kind regards!
Best regards!
Ekrem

You are right! I am analysing NetBeans, but got from the tool the instruction where to go on the Web. That is a slight, but important difference. Of course, a wizard that asks only necessary questions and does the whole work would be the best.
An application developer should only know that a C++ project needs a main.cpp and classes that should be separated to cpp and hpp files. When they add a new class, the tool should create a pair of files with a line in the cpp file and a line in the hpp file.
If it is known that for some reasons, it is useful to have all the class in one cpp file, there should be a preference on the Preferences page so that creating classes do not automatically generate a header file. (I do not think that this option is necessary, but creating a class with the IDE should create the file pair.)
Best regards!

When you first Eclipse (or your ue Help->Welcome) you can select Overview and then C/C++ Development. This will bring up your browser and will show the Eclipse help. The first paragraph is "Before you begin". There you will find instrucions to get your toolchain (including links to click and follow). I would say that is straight forward.

New->Other->C/C++->Class
This will create your cpp and header file etc.
