I have Eclipse Classic for my Java classes, and I have Visual Studio as well, but I'd much rather keep using Eclipse. Can anyone help?

I tried adding the addons from within Eclipse but it didn't work properly.

You need the Eclipse CDT project plugin.

Having said that, unless you need platform independence, don't give up on Visual Studio. For C/C++ Visual Studio is way, way, way better and faster than Eclipse. (IMHO).
