Eclipse

http://www.eclipse.org

• Use either Sun Java (Debian package: sun-java6-jre) or OpenJDK (Debian package: openjdk-6-jre). GNU Java (GCJ) may be too slow. If you experience problems with Sun Java, it may be IPv6 - to resolve it, add a new line -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true in the end of eclipse.ini (it must be after -vmargs)
• It is recommended to use the latest version from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Eclipse CDT - packages for C/C++ Developers or Parallel Application Developers

Plugins

Usage

• To avoid unresolved inclusions at edit time, add paths to Project -> Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Includes
• The comments // TODO: ... mark what you are going to do later. These parts of code can easily be found if you open the Tasks view (Window -> Show View -> Tasks)
