Hello World example for Eclipse HELIOS

Hello!

Is there a simple „Hello World!“ C++ tutorial for Eclipse that runs as easily as with Java? I am satisfied with Eclipse HELIOS when working with Java, but it seems to be unnecessarily complicated when creating a simple C++ project ([url=[http://codingrecipes.com/eclipse-launch-failed-binar…](http://codingrecipes.com/eclipse-launch-failed-binary-not-found-and-netbeans][/url])).

Obviously, Eclipse does not have a kind of wizard that makes all preparations for such a simple project, like creating the make file, installing make, CygWin, MingW etc., adding by itself or instructing to set paths’. Or do you have an answer to it? Actually, one who wants to start with a C++ project may not know about such details and will be frustrated. The link above indicates that it seems to be possible to have a comfortable IDE for C++, but it seems not to be Eclipse.

Thank you for any help.

Kind regards!

Hi,

I am not using Eclipse as IDE for C++, but I found a nice tutorial: http://www.engr.mun.ca/~licheng/1020/how-to/eclipseT…

I hope, that this helped you (and sry for my bad english).

I recommend to use Visual Studio as IDE.

Thank you for your help! ENG1020 uses some Eclipse configuration that differs from mine. I needed it for a student of mine whom I educate by eLearning. You are right by saying that Microsoft Visual Studio should be used, as Eclipse seems to be slightly underripe for C++.
