Eclipse CDT 7 – a preview
A good tool getting better
Eclipse as C++ IDE
I consider the C/C++ development tools (short: CDT) one of the best plugins for Eclipse. Since version 6, they are so good that Eclipse has become my favorite IDE for C and C++ development. The Eclipse code editor has always been good and CDT offers a host of nice features, like semantic highlighting (and this with good performance, even in large projects), excellent code navigation and very good code assistance. The CDT build system is flexible and does not force you to use one specific compiler (i.e. GCC) as it is perfectly possible to use the MS compilers and build tools.
Eclipse's integration of the Subversion version control system is also excellent and makes using SVN enjoyable.
