Introduction

The Carbide.c++ Development Kit enables you to create plugins to extend Carbide.c++. These plugins may be Carbide.c++ "aware" (normal Eclipse plugins can also be used with Carbide.c++ but are not "Carbide.c++ aware").

The CDK is available only as an update to your Carbide.c++ installation, through the Carbide.c++ update site. It updates the Carbide.c++ installation to include everything necessary to create Carbide.c++ plugins:

  • Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT)
  • Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE)
  • C/C++ Development Tools source code
  • CDT Development documentation
  • Carbide.c++ source code
  • Carbide.c++ Plugin-Developer guide
  • Example plug-in source code

The source code is pre-packaged in standard Eclipse form so developers can automatically search and debug Carbide.c++ code, just like Eclipse SDK.

Installation

Pre-requisites

You must have Carbide.c++ installed on your PC. Carbide.c++ is installed as part of the Symbian ADT and PDT. You can also download Carbide.c++ install it directly from Forum Nokia.

CDK Installation

The CDK is available only as an update to your Carbide.c++ installation, through the Carbide.c++ Update Site (as documented in Carbide Help: Carbide.c++ User Guide > Carbide.c++ Overview > Introduction > Updating Carbide.c++).

In the Carbide.c++ IDE select Help> Software Updates>Find and Install... to open the Feature Updates dialog. Select Search for new features to install and click Next. Select Carbide.c++ Update Site from the list of Update sites to visit and click Finish to display the Search Results dialog.

In the Search Results dialog drill down to find Carbide.c++ Plug-in SDK and select it.
