When you say "FRC C++ Tools Plugin" do you mean the 2015 FRC C++ plug-ins from WPI? If so, there should be no requirement to have those.... I just tested it here on a clean Eclipse Luna (C++ CDT) and with only Thunder cRIO Tools installed, the example robot.cpp compiles and links properly. I suspect you may have missed parts of CDT when you installed the base eclipse C++ stuff into your Java-only Eclipse, and something in the WPI FRC C++ plugins pulled those parts in. Perhaps we are missing some dependency declarations in the Thunder cRIO plugins; I'll take a look at that in the future if I have time.

In either event, I'm glad you got it working.

For anyone reading the thread and planning to install Thunder cRIO tools, please be sure you are using the CDT-capable eclipse in the first place as described on the installation Wiki page. It will save you a lot of time and frustration.
