+The following installation instructions are for Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling).[[BR]]
+
+Eclipse CDT allows for syntax highlighting, auto-completion, visual debugging, easy source navigation as well as other useful tools.[[BR]]
+
+Eclipse CDT can either be added to an existing Eclipse installation or installed from source.  This tutorial will focus on the latter.
+
+'''__Download and Install Eclipse CDT Indigo for Developers:__'''[[BR]]
+''Be sure to choose the correct version (32 or 64 bit from the right menu)''[[BR]]
+[http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers-includes-incubating-components/indigosr1][[BR]]
+
+Move the tarball to the installation directory of your choice for installation.
+{{{
+tar -zxvf yourfile.tar.gz
+rm -rf yourfile.tar.gz
+}}}
+You should now be able to run eclipse.
+{{{
+cd eclipse
+./eclipse
+}}}
+In order to start eclipse from the command line, your directory of choice must be in the unix PATH environment variable.
+{{{
+echo $PATH
+#If the path is not present you can add it permanently with the following command.
+echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/path_to/directory_of_choice/eclipse"' >> ~/.bashrc && . ~/.bashrc
+#You should now be able to start eclipse from the command line
+eclipse
+}}}
+
+
+'''__Creating Eclipse project files:__'''[[BR]]
+In the directory of the project file that you would like to export simply:
+{{{
+cmake . -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles"
+}}}
+
+'''__Importing generated Eclipse project files:__'''[[BR]]
+In Eclipse: [[BR]]
+''File --> Import --> General --> Existing Projects into Workspace --> Next --> Browse''[[BR]]
+Browse to your package's root directory and hit OK [[BR]] 
+Finish the import by selecting the finish button.[[BR]]
+
+Your project should now be imported into Eclipse and can be viewed in the Project Explorer on the left side of the IDE.
+
+'''__Other useful tools and plugins__'''[[BR]]
+
+''' Barrett Technology Auto Formatting ''' [[BR]]
+
+Download the BTech Automatic Formatting Template
+{{{
+#Navigate to a directory of choice
+wget http://web.barrett.com/svn/libbarrett/trunk/BTech_Format.xml
+}}}
+In Eclipse:[[BR]]
+''Window-->Preferences-->C/C++-->Code Style-->Import''
+Browse to your BTech_Format.xml and hit OK [[BR]] 
+Hit apply and OK.[[BR]]
+
+Your Eclipse projects should now follow the Barrett Technology conventions.
+
+To apply the formatting to an existing file:[[BR]]
+''Open file --> Source --> Format''
+
+'''Adding Python IDE for Eclipse - PyDev'''[[BR]]
+
+PyDev is a great IDE for Python development.  
+
+PyDev also has much of the advantages of CDT; auto-completion, synatax highlighting, auto formatting, etc.
+
+''Note: the following instructions are for Eclipse Indigo''
+''Help --> Eclipse Marketplace''[[BR]]
+Search for: PyDev or python. The first result will be PyDev.[[BR]]
+Install PyDev.  This may require restarting Eclipse.
+
+You should now have all of the aforementioned python tools.
+
+'''Installing Eclipse Color Themes'''[[BR]]
+
+Eclipse color theme plugin allows for automatic color formatting of the IDE.
+
+''Note: the following instructions are for Eclipse Indigo''
+''Help --> Eclipse Marketplace''[[BR]]
+Search for: eclipse color theme.  
+Install Eclipse Color Theme by Felix Dahlke and Roger Dudler.
+
+After installation you can apply a color theme by:
+''Window-->Preferences-->General-->Appereance-->Color Theme'' - choose the theme of your choice and apply.
