Hello.

This is a really long standing bug, that eclipse does not properly detect visual studio and include/library paths. I do have visual studio 2015 rc here.
I do not know what is a proper way to detect vs compiler, although it should not work like it currently does, like it should not be required to add support for each new vs version.
Even if so, it really should be possible to manually set visual studio/sdk location/include paths. It is something to consider as it is impossible to use cdt on new vs versions/etc at all because of that without strange workarounds unknown to me.
