Hi, everyone.
I am pretty much new to Eclipse.
I would like to install Eclipse SDK on my new PC which the Windows Vista
is running on. And the Java version is 1.6.0-b105.
Which version of Eclipse should I install?
And also, I am going to do some C/C++ project as well.
I'm using GCC compiler comes with 'cygwin'.
Is there a plug-in for the c/c++ program?
Do I have to install particular compiler for it?
Could you be able to give me a detailed guidance for me, please?
Thanks,
Yong.

Hi, Yong.
If you go to the Eclipse downloads page (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads)
you can learn more about the various versions and additional components
available.
The latest released version of Eclipse is 3.2.2. That is a good solid
starting point for someone starting out on Eclipse. You could also explore
the latest milestone release of the version currently in development, which
will have more new features but may also be less stable.
According to the release notes link on the downloads web page, "Eclipse SDK
3.2.2 has been tested and works well on Microsoft Windows Vista." There are
a few minor issues noted in the release notes; the most important is that
you should not install it into the c:\Program Files directory, because of
security restrictions on that directory.
Eclipse works fine on a 1.6 JVM.
To work with C/C++, you need to install the CDT (C Development Tooling)
component, in addition to the base Eclipse SDK. You can learn more about
the CDT by clicking on the "By Topic" link on the downloads page. If you
have specific questions about using the CDT, it is best to post them to the
eclipse.tools.cdt newsgroup.
