<h1>CDT Overview</h1>
<p>The C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT) is a set of Eclipse plug-ins that provide
C and C++ extensions to the Eclipse workbench. For more information about
Eclipse, see <b>Workbench User Guide &gt; Concepts &gt; Workbench</b>.</p>
<p>The CDT provides a C/C++ IDE that simplifies many of the same tools that
you can use from the command line. The CDT can also communicate with many external
utilities and interpret their responses, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Build (such as make).</li>
<li>Compile (such as gcc). For more information, see
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org">http://gcc.gnu.org</a>.</li>
<li>Debug (such as gdb). For more information, see
<a href="http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/">http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The CDT opens as the C/C++ perspective of the Eclipse workbench. The
C/C++ perspective consists of an editor and the following
views:</p>
<dl>
<dt>C/C++ Projects view</dt>
<dd>Lists all of your C/C++ projects.</dd>
<dt>Navigator view</dt>
<dd>Lists all files in your Eclipse <span class="filename">workspace</span>.</dd>
<dt>Tasks view</dt>
<dd>Lists things such as tasks, compiler warnings, and errors.</dd>
<dt>C-Build view</dt>
<dd>Displays the output from <span class="command">make</span>.</dd>
<dt>Properties view</dt>
<dd>Lists the properties of a file that has been selected in
the <span class="guilabel">C/C++ Projects</span> view or the
<span class="guilabel">Navigator</span> view.</dd>
<dt>Outline view</dt>
<dd>Lists file elements.</dd>
</dl>
<p>For more information, see <b>Workbench User Guide &gt; Concepts &gt; Perspectives</b>.</p>
<h3>CDT updates</h3>
<p>The <b>Install/Update</b> perspective provides information about your current
Eclipse installation and provides the framework to manage your updates. For more information, see <b>Workbench User Guide &gt; Tasks &gt; Updating
features with the update manager</b>.</p>
<p>To view a list of the updates available for the toolsets that you
installed, click <b>Help &gt; Software Updates &gt; New Updates</b>.</p>
