The Eclipse plugin is pretty much unmaintained, and therefore not usable with recent Eclipse versions. Note that you can still use more recent Eclipse versions, it's just that you will have to configure Eclipse manually to point to the toolchain. It's not related to Eclipse, but you can for example see https://bootlin.com/blog/building-a-linux-system-for-the-stm32mp1-setting-up-a-qt5-application-development-environment/ which explains how we configured Qt Creator to use the toolchain provided by Buildroot to build and debug applications.
