| <h1>Preparing the Workbench</h1> |
| |
| <p>This tutorial will get you started using the C/C++ Development |
| Toolkit (CDT) in the Workbench.</p> |
| <p>First, you will verify that the workbench is properly |
| configured for C/C++ development. It is assumed that:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Your Workbench has its default settings. To reset the |
| current perspective to its original layout, from the menu bar select |
| <strong>Window > Reset Perspective</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li>You are familiar with the basic Workbench features, such as |
| <a href="../concepts/cdt_c_views.htm">views</a> and <a |
| href="../concepts/cdt_c_perspectives.htm">perspectives</a>. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Setting the global editor operations and appearance</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| The main place to configure global editor-related preferences is the |
| <a class="command-link" |
| href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Editors)")'> |

| </a> preference pages (also accessible through the <strong>Window |
| > Preferences</strong> menu item) |
| </p> |
| <h2>Setting the C/C++ editor operations and appearance</h2> |
| <p> |
| C/C++-specific editor preferences are under <a class="command-link" |
