'How to install CDT to Eclipse Luna
I am trying to install the C/C++ development tools for Eclipse Luna.
Taking reference from this page here, I navigated to Help> Install New Software> and placed http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/8.4
in the "Works with" section.
I got the options for C/C++ Development Tools and C/C++ Development Tools SDK which I downloaded and restarted Eclipse. However, on restarting eclipse I cannot find any place/interface to create C programs or files. The tools are showing up in the installed softwares list(screen attached).
I have also installed MinGw as instructed here.
Have I missed any step? How can I start C development in Luna. Please advice.
Solution 1:[1]
Your JDK version is below 1.6 which is too old. You should upgrade it to 1.7 or higher.
Solution 2:[2]
I had the same problem - installing java 8 helped.
Solution 3:[3]
I had exactly the same problem, using Luna SR 1a on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Switching from Java 1.6.0_34 to 1.7.0_75 fixed the issue - everything works now
Solution 4:[4]
I had the same issue with Luna. I installed Java 1.7.0_80, which then allowed me to change to the C/C++ Perspective and create new C/C++ projects.
My system previously only had Java 1.6.0_45, which was sufficient to run Luna but apparently insufficient to run CDT in its entirety.
