Hi,

I was giving a try to Eclipse because so many people says it is very good. Normally I'm doing all my serious coding work with Emacs.

I've installed the plugin for C/C++ and it seems to work finely but now I'm wondering why the code completition does not works and why it does not pop suggestion on the function arguments based on the prototype, I was thinking that this kind of functionalities were the specialities of Eclipse.
I was also wondering if it possible to instruct it to adopt GNU indentation style.

I'm using Eclipse 3.2 that cames in stock with ubuntu 9.04.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Francesco

Try the Eclipse C/C++ IDE. This will include code completition.
If you want to know how to install...

Just... No.

For some reason, the current Eclipse on the repository is waaaaay outdated.

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Download the C/C++ version, throw it into any folder and execute it. Eclipse comes with it's own updating mechanism and package management.
