ACDT Installation for Eclipse


  1. Preparation
    Be sure you have installed Java 1.8 or higher

    Install Eclipse 4.6.3 (Neon.3)
    It is recommend to install the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, otherwise you have to install the CDT Plugin from the CDT update site.

    Download the AspectC++ Compiler (aspectc.org)
    You can set the path to the compiler later in the Eclipse preferences or put the directory that contains ac++ and ag++ into your command search path, $PATH on Linux.

    Install the AspectJ compiler and the Equinox Weaving SDK, which are part of the AJDT, by using the AJDT Update Site http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/46/dev/update
    The Install wizard is opened by selecting "Help/Install New Software", select "Add..." to add a new repository.

  2. Add the ACDT Update Site:
    Use this URL http://acdt.aspectc.org/builds/4.4 to install the ACDT Plugin
    Alternatively download the ZIP file that contains a copy of this update site, save it somewhere in your local filesystem, and chose the repository location by selecting "Archive..."

  3. Select "AspectC++ Development Tools" and continue the installation
    Note that the ACDT packages are not signed. The installer will ask you to agree with that.

  4. That's all
