How to download CDT for Eclipse 3.8 on Ubuntu 14.04?

First solution: there is an official eclipse-cdt package in Ubuntu 14.04.

However, instead of doing that, I would recommend that you simply download the Eclipse tarball from the official website instead of using the Ubuntu package. There are at least two advantages:

• Your downloaded version of Eclipse will nearly always be more up-to-date than the packaged version;
• You can install multiple instances of Eclipse, with different sets of plugins (e.g. one for Java, and another for C++);

Install Sconsolidator Eclipse CDT plugin offliine?

Help > Install New Software... requires an update site. Get a local copy of the update site by running following command from the command line within the Eclipse (at least the Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary) installation directory (adjust -destination to your needs):

eclipsec -nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source http://www.sconsolidator.com/update -destination file:C:/SConsUpdateSite/

and

eclipsec -nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication -source http://www.sconsolidator.com/update -destination file:C:/SConsUpdateSite/

Alternatively you can download following 7 files into a directory with the two subdirectories features and plugins:

• features/ch.hsr.ifs.sconsolidator.depviz.feature_1.0.0.201707140647.jar
• features/ch.hsr.ifs.sconsolidator.feature_1.0.0.201707140647.jar

• plugins/ch.hsr.ifs.sconsolidator.help_1.0.0.201707140647.jar

CDT installation in Eclipse

To install plug-ins into Eclipse you should always prefer using the user interface through Help > Install new software menu.

Anyway if you really want to install plug-ins manually into your Eclipse installation, you have to place them into the dropins folder.
BUT this way you will have to resolve plug-in dependencies by yourself. If all dependencies are not satifsied, the concerned plug-ins will fail to start silently. This is why you should REALLY prefer to use the standard plug-in installation method to avoid any problem.

Install Eclipse JDT on top of CDT

All versions of Eclipse have a standard base, then a specific set of plugins, depending on the version. All you have to do is go to the Help > Install New Software menu, select the Eclipse update site (e.g. "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo"), and under the Programming Languages section, select Eclipse Java Development Tools.

If you don't see the Java Development Tools in the list, click on the "already installed" link on the install page--you may already have the Java tools installed.
