[Buildroot] Buildroot integration with eclipse issues

[Alassane]

Hello,

I've tried to use Eclipse to develop my own application for my embedded
linux system but i'm having some issues.
To use the buildroot eclipse plugin, eclipse luna 4.4 is needed. Then, to
run this eclipse version, a java 7 JDK/JRE is needed. The problem is that
it doesn't seem to be possible to install that old java JDK/JRE version
(i'm using Ubuntu 18.04 on virtual box). I've tried to use java 11 JDK/JRE
but then, an error is displayed in the terminal when i try to run eclipse
luna 4.4 .
So, i'd like to know if there was an alternative to that, like using a more
recent version of eclipse that would be compatible with the buildroot
eclipse plugin.

Kind regards

Thank you.

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.

Best regards,

Thomas

Thank you for your answer Thomas.
That helps a lot. I'll try to use qt creator in this case.

Kind regards

Alassane.
