The maintenance of having a streamlined standalone debugger that starts as fast as possible is no longer possible. See for example #591 - therefore when using standalone debugger, use the same sets of plug-ins/features as the product it is installed in uses. The side effect is that the standalone debugger in this use case will start slower and extra "stuff" will be present in this UI. For people just building the standalone debugger, provide a minimum feature set. This will be many more bundles than before, but should still provide a reasonably small set that starts well. This simplification also includes removing the the duplicates set of CDT docs (debug/org.eclipse.cdt.debug.application.doc). These provided a simplified version of CDT's documentation targetted at just standalone debugger. However there are a few problems related to this duplication: - The two sets of docs were not kept in sync - The standalone docs appear in the online help, leading to duplicated entries - With the config.ini changes above, there is no way to exclude the main docs in the standalone case, so remove the duplicate A number of directly related clean-ups are included too: - Remove the `ConfigGenerator.java` that stopped being referenced in PR #761 - Complete the removal of `build-standalone-debugger-rcp` profile that was started in #761. There is a small drawback to not having this profile, the standalone debugger is very slow to build compared to the rest of CDT. If this becomes a problem, restoring this profile along with the changes made in #761 is reasonable. - bring debug.product's licenses up to date - modernize command line args to eclipse when using debug.product Fixes #781 |

Eclipse CDT™ C/C++ Development Tools
The Eclipse CDT™ Project provides a fully functional C and C++ Integrated Development Environment based on the Eclipse platform. Features include: support for project creation and managed build for various toolchains, standard make build, source navigation, various source knowledge tools, such as type hierarchy, call graph, include browser, macro definition browser, code editor with syntax highlighting, folding and hyperlink navigation, source code refactoring and code generation, visual debugging tools, including memory, registers, and disassembly viewers.
Highlights of recent releases and release notes are available in the New & Noteworthy.

Download
The recommended way to obtain Eclipse CDT is to download it as part of the complete Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers or Eclipse IDE for Embedded C/C++ Developers or Eclipse IDE for Scientific Computing from the main Eclipse IDE download site.
Alternatively Eclipse CDT can be installed into an existing Eclipse installation using this p2 URL: https://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/latest/ (see how)
Downloads links for older versions are available in Downloads.
Help & Support
The Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tools) User Guide can be found in the Eclipse Help - C/C++ Development User Guide.
The Eclipse forum for C/C++ IDE (CDT) is for users to ask questions on how to use Eclipse CDT. It is monitored by fellow users in the community for support. Stack Overflow also has an eclipse-cdt tag that can be added to questions or searched for prevous similar questions.
The Eclipse CDT Plug-in Developer Guide can also be found in the Eclipse Help - CDT Plug-in Developer Guide.
There is an FAQ covering many commonly asked questions for both user and developers and a Contribution Guide for guidance on editing Eclipse CDT's source and submitting changes.
Reporting issues
Please report issues in the GitHub issue tracker.
Vendor Supplied Eclipse CDT
Did you get your version of Eclipse CDT from a vendor (such as a chip maker)? If so, they generally support their customers. In that case issues and support questions should be directed at the vendor in the first instance.
We encourage all vendors who are extending and redistributing Eclipse CDT to engage with the project and contribute fixes and improvements back to the Eclipse CDT project.
CDT LSP (LSP based C/C++ Editor)
The Eclipse CDT project also provides an LSP based C/C++ Editor. Please see the CDT LSP repo for more details on that project and the future plans for language server protocol and clangd support in Eclipse CDT.
Contributing
Contributions are always welcome!
Please bear in mind that this project is almost entirely developed by volunteers. If you do not provide the implementation yourself (or pay someone to do it for you), the bug might never get fixed. If it is a serious bug, other people than you might care enough to provide a fix.
Add-ons for CDT
There are many third-party addons for CDT to make it more productive.
- CDT LSP: LSP based C/C++ Editor provided by the Eclipse CDT project
- cmake4eclipse: This Eclipse plug-in automatically generates build-scripts for the Eclipse CDT managed build system from CMake scripts.
- Sloeber: Eclipse Plugins based on Arduino toolchains or a enhanced Arduino IDE.
- CUTE: C++ unit testing plug-in
- Bracketeer: Auto-comments on closing brackets and highlight of matching/mismatching brackets
- And many more in the Eclipse Marketplace, for example, try the CDT tag
