No Synaptic Package Manager in Ubuntu 11.10

 ‘Synaptic Package Manager’ tool has been dropped from the latest builds of Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot.

The removal of Synaptic Package Manager have been planned since the inception of the Ubuntu Software Centre. Many of the advanced features Synaptic currently provides are ear-marked for inclusion in the Ubuntu Software Centre.

Well, I really don't like SOFTWARE CENTER as it takes forever to start up and it doesn't list all packages. I mostly use Synaptic and apt-get for installing packages.

So I have installed Synaptic package from the repository.

sudo apt-get install synaptic

Installing C/C++ plugin(or CDT) in Eclipse

Problem : Eclipse does not have C/C++ project by default.

Solution:
Install Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling)from Synaptic Manager or Terminal

1)  Install the package eclipse-cdt
     sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt

What is CDT ?
The CDT Project provides a fully functional C and C++ Integrated Development Environment based on the Eclipse platform. Features include: support for project creation and managed build for various toolchains, standard make build, source navigation, various source knowledge tools, such as type hierarchy, call graph, include browser, macro definition browser, code editor with syntax highlighting, folding and hyperlink navigation, source code refactoring and code generation, visual debugging tools, including memory, registers, and disassembly viewer
