== Overview  ==
<section begin=overview />

Eclipse is a multi-language software development environment comprising an integrated development environment (IDE) and an extensible plug-in system. It is written mostly in Java. It can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Haskell, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Android and Scheme. One of these interesting plugins is the Yocto Eclipse IDE Plug-in. 

The Yocto Eclipse IDE Plug-in integrates the functionality of the [https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/application-development-toolkit-adt Yocto Project Application Development Toolkit (ADT)] and toolchain into the Eclipse IDE. This allows its users direct access to deploy, build, run and debug your own project. More information about Eclipse software [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_%28software%29 here].

{{Message/Information Message|message= This guide was tested under Linux Mint Lisa 12, Eclipse 3.7 Indigo and Yocto IDE Plug-in 1.2}}

== Install  ==

=== Install Java Runtime Environment  ===

Eclipse IDE has Java dependencies. Java Runtime Environment should be installed, but if you don't have it type next command in a terminal: 
<pre>sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre</pre>

=== Install Eclipse IDE  ===

[http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-linux-developers-includes-incubating-components/indigor Download] Eclipse 3.7 Indigo for C/C++ Linux Developers, choose 32 or 64 bits version depends your machine. 

You maybe want to install "build-essential" package to test programs in your Host computer. Install it using the next command: 
<pre>sudo apt-get install build-essential </pre> 
Extract Eclipse binaries, in my case the downloaded file is located at Downloads folder: 
<pre>jdoe@ubuntu ~/Downloads $ tar xzf eclipse-linuxtools-indigo-incubation-linux-gtk.tar.gz -C ~/ </pre>

=== Install Yocto SDK  ===

{{#lst:How to setup a cross compiler|install_sdk}}

== Configure  ==
