ACDT Installation for Eclipse


  1. Preparation
    You have to install Eclipse 3.2.x (www.eclipse.org)
    Note: for Eclipse 3.0.x use ACDT 2.0.3 and for Eclipse 3.1.x use ACDT 3.0.2

    IMPORTANT:
    If you do not use the AspectC++ Compiler Plugin:
    ACDT is an extension of the CDT plugin. Therefore you have to install only the ACDT plugin.
    PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL BOTH CDT AND ACDT!

  2. Start eclipse and go to the Update Manager:
    The Install/Update wizard is opened by selecting "Help/Software Updates/Find and Install"

  3. Add a new Update Site:
    Use this URL

    http://acdt.aspectc.org/builds/3.1.0

    to create a Site Bookmark and name it like "ACDT Update Site"

    Alternatively download the ZIP file that contains a copy of this update site, save it somewhere in your local filesystem, and use the Update Manager to install the ACDT from this "Archived Update Site".


  4. Open the bookmark and select the ACDT features to install...
    Note: there are AspectC++ Compiler Plugins available for Windows, Linux, Solaris and MacOsX

  5. That's all
    Now you could read the AspectC/C++ Development User Guide using Eclipse "Help/Help Contents"
