Which Eclipse program do I install.

[unknownID]

I'm wanting to program in c++ language and Java but which programs do I use. For example what eclipse program do I install.

Instructions for getting started with C++ and LabVIEW are available from the Control System documentation.

As mentioned above Java and C++ instructions are available on screensteps live.

The default IDE for Java is Netbeans.
And the default for C++ is Wind River Workbench

If you are dead set on using eclipse. A member of my team put together a guide on how to do this. This was for the 2013 season, but is nearly identical to what's required for 2014.

For Java, it is recommended that you use Netbeans. You must use WindRiver IDE for C++, though. However, that is still based off eclipse.

Actually, you don't have to use WindRiver for C++, but it's documented much better than other methods. The latest versions of GCC (4.8 and above) support building C++ code for VxWorks on PowerPC, which is what the C++11 toolchain mentioned elsewhere uses. One can use their editor of choice and deploy their code with make.

While it has proven to be very stable across multiple platforms in my opinion, newer teams should definitely go with WindRiver since it has examples and better documentation. Also, others can give them help if needed.

Sweet! I love the command line
