[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: C++ tool

["Randy D. Smith" <randy.d.smith@xxxxxxxxx>]

Check out < http://www.eclipse.org/cdt > (CDT == C/C++ Development 
Tools) and go to the FAQ page. See Q2 under "Compilers and other 3rd 
party tools"; Visual Studio is mentioned there.

As Eclipse often behaves with a different "model of the world" than many 
people are used to, I suggest installing CDT with the necessary GNU 
tools (e.g., Cygwin on Windows), get that working with some simple 
projects, THEN try to make the migration over to the existing stuff you 
have in place (if you MUST use that M$ stuff).

You may find that a purely open source approach meets your needs, and 
you can ignore that M$VC.
