I've been trying to get the Zylin CDT to work on Eclipse, but my
attempts have been futile. As Jim Lynch wrote in his book, and as is
written on the Zylin site, I've extracted the two zips to the eclipse
directory. 

I can now see some new maps under the features and plugins submaps of
Eclipse. When I startup Eclipse though, there is nothing about C/C++
to be seen. Jim Lynch says that, when you do File>new>Project, you
should see C and Cpp options. I don't get this. 

Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Should I also do something
in Eclipse or change some config files? 

The archives I used were: 
eclipse-SDK-4.1.1-win32.zip
embeddedcdt-20051102.zip
zylincdt-20051102.zip

I got this e-mail a couple of days ago from Eelco Duivenstijn that 
might be the answer. I haven't investigated it yet since I've just 
finished my latest tutorial revision this weekend. Take a look.

Cheers,

Subject: ARM Cross Dev. With Eclipse V2


Dear Mr. Lynch,
 
Finding my way into the ARM world I stumbled across your amazing 
piece of work dealing with ARM cross development using Eclipse.
 
It's the best support you could dream of as novice startting in this 
puzzling world of hardware and support tools. My true compliments.
 
While stepping through your installation description I ran into a 
nasty problem I couldn't understand at first (being a novice anyway). 
After installation of the Zylin zip's the CDT plugin didn't show-up 
in the Eclipse window. Spending several hours of searching it turned 
out to be that CDT has been disabled (by default seemingly) in the 
Product configuration window. Enabling is all that's required to run 
it as expected.
 
A minor suggestion is to change the comment lines in the linker 
command file for the RAM version of BLINK2106 as it states there that 
startup and text go into FLASH while RAM is meant.
 
I hope others might benefit from these suggestions. 
 
Thanks for the help that you've provided with your publication which 
was absolutely beneficial to me !
 
 
With kind regards,
 
Eelco Duivenstijn

I found the solution to my own problem. Eclipse didn't find the
cdt-"feature", because it was not the right version. The version of
the plugin was org.eclipse.cdt_3.1.0, while all the other plugins were
3.1.1. 

So I changed the name of the map for this plugin to 3.1.1, and now,
everything seems to work fine. 

This may or may not be the most catholic approach, but it worked and I
thought I'd share it for posteriority.
