RVDS 3.1
Starting with RVDS 3.1, Eclipse and CDT are included in the suite - so you no longer need to download and install these separately.
However, some users are already using a version of Eclipse bundled with some other development suite. In this case, you can still use the Eclipse Plug-ins for RVDS as long as compatible versions of Eclipse and CDT are used. For the Plug-ins for RVDS 3.1, the requirements are Eclipse 3.2.x and CDT 3.1.x.
The procedure for manually installing the Eclipse Plug-ins for RVDS is then the same as described below for the RVDS 3.0 plug-in.
RVDS 3.0
For RVDS 3.0, you will first have to download and install Eclipse (version 3.1.*) and CDT (version 3.0.*). Some problems have been reported when using later (3.1.*) versions of CDT with the Plug-in for RVDS 3.0.
You must use the Software Updates feature in Eclipse to install the Eclipse Plug-in for RVDS. The first time you use the Software Updates feature to install the Eclipse Plug-in for RVDS, you must create an update site to download the plug-in from:
