Favourite Eclipse Plugin Sites

Favourite Eclipse Plugin Sites

Recent Eclipse problems force me to try other IDEs and diferent Eclipse versions and distributions.

So I finally took the time to create a list of our favourite Eclipse Plugins resp. their Update Sites:

ADT, integrates Android Developer Tools and plafform sources

http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/Eclipse/

http://adt-addons.googlecode.com/...source.update/

Requires Android SDK, too.
Project homepage: http://developer.android.com/sdk/  
For Android developement, I prefer the Android Studio over eclipse.

CDT, C/C++ Developement Tools.

Release: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/8.4

B.e.: https://hudson.eclipse.org/.../org.eclipse.cdt.repo/target/repository



Stable CDT is available within standard repositories.
Milestone and bleeding edge links are from the CDT Downloads page.
