I am delighted to announce the release of Eclipse CDT 12 and CDT LSP 3, which will be generally available this Wednesday as part of the Eclipse IDE 2025-03 release.
The preferred way to get CDT is to install Eclipse CDT as part of the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers using the installer. Further release information on how to get CDT will be published on Wednesday on the GitHub CDT 12 release page.
The two themes for the CDT 12 release are highlighting the new C/C++ editing experience based on the CDT LSP project by leveraging clangd and improved CMake integration, especially for CDT extenders. But there are many other new and noteworthy items, along with over 200 issues and PRs closed across CDT and CDT LSP repos.
Here is a video highlight of the new C/C++ Editing Experience based on the Language Server Protocol (LSP) using clangd and showing the improved CMake integration.
