I am using eclipse with AVR plugin in Linux OS for 8bits AVR controllers.
recently, I had the need for more peripherals that ATMEGA328PB offers, So I bought some of pieces of ATMEGA328PB but it is not included in the most recent plugin version 2.42.
Though the controller is included in board file call "minicore" for Arduino platform. I don't want to begin to change my libraries that were already developed.
Also, I don't want use MPLAB IDE.
Please, to maintain my eclipse IDE for the AVR. How can I include the controller ATMEGA328PB?.
I have extracted and copied registers definitions for the controller to be use in eclipse. But can't find out to integrate in the device selection.

I am evaluating the creation of an IntelliJ IDEA plugin which would ship OS-specific binaries, for macOS, Linux and Windows.
The binaries are fairly large, so I don't want to ship binaries for the 3 OS in the same plugin archive. Is it possible to create OS-specific zip archives for an IntelliJ plugin?
It's not possible to make 3 different binaries for the one plugin.
Different approaches you can take:
3 different plugins. Shared code can be put in a different code module
The plugin downloads the binary upon startup from a private server (ftp / nexus)
Install the binaries separately, and have the plugin find the binaries via an environment variable
Good luck!
I want to write a custom IDE on top of IntelliJ Platform. Android Studio is an example. It was built based on IntelliJ Platform and was designed to support Android application development.
There are lots of git GUI out there. However, in Linux, I don't satisfy with any. That is my motivation to write a git IDE for Linux. IntelliJ IDEA already have a very good Git plugin. Using IntelliJ IDEA is a solution. But it is too heavy for opening entire project with different functionalities (Run, Debug, Refactor...) for just Git operations. Therefore, I want to make that plugin a complete IDE for only Git operation.
On IntelliJ Platform forum page, there are tutorials to write plugins. However, it doesn't have the guide for writing a complete IDE.
Are there any tutorials to help me get started?
IntelliJ platform is probably not the best choice for writing a general purpose RCP applications.

Git plugin has 65k lines of code, you are talking about gutting ~13M lines IDE (respectively 3M lines of pure Java source code).
I have an IDE for java (and android), also recently have downloaded the ide for php development.
Is it possible to use both (not at the same time) ide's from the same application?
Now i have eclipse juno for java and eclipse luna for php...
I managed to download c++ ide into the eclipse version that i used for java.
Basically look for p2 software repository of the IDE of your choice and paste the link into: work with, under install new software, under help.
Now i have 2 different IDE's working under same application (should be possible to have more)
Also a comment to the downvoter: It is not wise to downvote without explaining the reason of your action....
Some food for thought...
I am developing an standalone GUI for our in-house tool. After it has matured enough, it is supposed to be integrated into Eclipse as a plugin.
I am a newcomer to Java world. I have read about RCP. Is this is correct use case scenario for RCP? If yes, can I use SWT views in a RCP application/plugin?
Is this is correct use case scenario for RCP?
Yes, RCP is a good fit. You can use the same plugin for providing functionality both in Eclipse and in your standalone application.
If yes, can I use SWT views in a RCP application/plugin?
Yes, of course. Until the latest version of RCP (e4) you could only use SWT for GUI (of course, Swing/JavaFX/etc. can be integrated with SWT).
When you develop an Eclipse RCP based application, you in fact develop a number of plug-ins. If you play by a specific set of limited rules, then your plug-in can run unaltered as part of an RCP application and as part of the larger Eclipse IDE.
(One can easily argue that the IDE is "just" a very large RCP application. The IDE is based on the Eclipse Platform of which Eclipse RCP is just a small sub-set...)
I would recommend two books for your project:
"Eclipse Rich Client Platform (2nd Edition)" by Jeff McAffer, Jean-Michel Lemieux, and Chris Aniszczyk - see Amazon.
"Eclipse Plug-ins (3rd Edition)" by Eric Clayberg and Dan Rubel - see Amazon.
Where the first is more or less the bible for RCP based applications, the later gives you a lot of good examples on how to integrate into the IDE. Very advanced as times, but also very good.
i go to eclipse download website
i find Eclipse CDT - a version of eclipse that is standalone
in my standard Eclipse SDK(not cdt)
i can do this:
Help->install new software-> then i get a window popup and ask me to give the url
it looks like this:
so then you can install it
this is a separate standalone Eclipse CDT :
this is a standalone Eclipse SDK:
my question is:
1.what is the difference between separate Eclipse CDT and installing CDT plugin onto Eclipse SDK OR are they same thing?
2. what is better? is it better to use a separate Eclipse CDT or just install a plugin inside my Eclipse SDK?
thanks in advance!
Short answer: there is no important difference[1] between the two.
Longer answer: The Eclipse IDE is nothing more than a bunch of plugins that work together to create the functionality for code editing (and other things).
When you go to http://eclipse.org/downloads, you'll see a bunch of different packages. Each package provides a certain set of features, but this is no more than a convenience so that you don't have to install the vanilla SDK and then install the stuff that you really need on top of that. The php dev will not need the C++ compiler and vice-versa. But, you can install it if you want. At it's core, the same small set of plugins are re-used between all distributions.
You can compare the different distributions here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php
[1]: Actually, the difference is that the SDK includes source code for all features as well as the Java compiler and plugin development tools. The C++ tools do not include these.
