[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Eclipse+CDT with FEDORA 2

[Jeff Myers <myersj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stéphane,

CDT 3.0.0 M6 requires Eclipse 3.1 M6, as stated on the CDT project's 
webpage.  Try installing that version of Eclipse and see if it works 
better for you (Or install CDT 2.1 which runs on Eclipse 3.0)

Hope this helps,
 - Jeff
