I am unable to get it working. I added http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/ganymede to the update sites of my eclipse installation, and checked for new updates. It downloaded a bunch related to this update site but after this I still get the error message 'Could not open the editor: No editor descriptor for id org.eclipse.cdt.ui.editor.CEditor'.
After this I tried with the zip of version 5.0.2 that can be downloaded from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/ganymede/. But when I 'Check for Updates' from the eclipse menu it keeps telling me 'there is nothing to update'.

Does this mean that i need to get the plugin from somewhere else? What does it exactly mean 'install the plugin from upstream'?

Thanks
