Eclipse for Symbian

2 replies · 1,943 views · Started 19 May 2004

Does anyone know if it's possible to develop C++ applications for Symbian using Eclipse with the CDT plugin? I'm used to using eclipse and don't really want to have to learn a new IDE. If it's not possible, what IDE would you recommend?

Hey,

There are three major IDEs for Symbian platform Microsoft's Visual C++, Borland's C++ BuilderX and CodeWarrior. They each have their pros and cons. VC++ is reportedly the cheapest and quite easy to use, BuilderX is more RAD orriented even including a graphical tool for constructing dialogs and other GUI elements while CodeWarriror is reportedly very easy to set up. It's up to you to decide which one suits you best.
