The IDE is based on the Eclipse platform but adds many features and tools for
debugging, profiling, and monitoring applications on QNX-based systems.
The UI of our IDE varies significantly from that of Eclipse, notably with the IDE's launch bar at the top, which automates
building, running, and stopping programs. When appropriate, we refer the reader to the Eclipse documentation for components
that are part of the underlying platform and are presented in the same way in our IDE. But you should follow the steps
in this guide on project creation, launching, and debugging instead of those in the Eclipse documentation.
If you want to learn about the Eclipse platform and its built-in features, you can read the Eclipse documentation included
with the
IDE:
- The Workbench User Guide describes the workbench desktop environment
and provides both basic tutorials and detailed instructions for many different tasks.
- The C/C++ Development User Guide has information about the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT)
and the Eclipse features for creating, editing, and navigating C/C++ projects.
- The Eclipse Marketplace User Guide explains how to use the Eclipse Marketplace Client to
find and install useful features.
- The EGit Documentation describes how to share your project to a Git repository and work on it
with your team.
