Hi guys,  
a few question I always wanted to ask about Eclipse.

- Is there any way to debug the code using eclipse?
- When generating the CDT and opened it on Eclipse, all my code was red. So I had to go into project options and enable the cross CDT and everything went OK. (this on OSX)  
I did the same thing on ubuntu, but lots of symbol were missing. It compiles but lots of things are red linted. Are there any suggestion you can give me?  
Thanks!

I am very interested on this topic as-well. Didn’t dig it too much cause I try to avoid everything that involves Java if possible, so I was able to compile but once debugging become hard I switched back to Vim and simply read core dumps with gdb.

Could be great to have an XCode project as-well.
