[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Which IDE to Install?

[Nick Boldt <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you plan to be a "C/C++ Developer" then use the package which 
includes both the Eclipse platform and the CDT project.

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/ganymeder

As to Wascana, the homepage may be hosed, but the project page & 
downloads are still working:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wascana
http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=199497

Generally, for CDT help, I recommend the CDT newsgroup: 
eclipse.tools.cdt. I've copied this there for reference.
