This repository contains a complete Eclipse workspace to compile successfully the Pro*C plugin. I don't code in Java, but you can send pull requests to make this plugin better.
Original work by https://github.com/buntatsu/cdt-proc. The firsts commits are, indeed, the original repo.
🔘 You will need a computer with JDK installed. I suggest a list I tested it and it works. You can simply ignore it and use the most recent JDK. I tested on Windows, but you can use a osX or the Linux flavor you want.
🔘 Download from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release the package you want. Ensure you choose the Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers version.
🔘 Open your Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers, create an empty workspace and install the version of CDT you want to use. You must install, at least, the main features. Restart the program.
🔘 Go here and select the branch which name contains the name of your CDT version.
🔘 Download the branch. It contains a workspace inside the branch.
🔘 Open your Eclipse IDE for Eclipse Committers and open the workspace. Wait until completes the building of the workspace. It probably doesn't have the auto build.
🔘 Select in any project the export option -> Deployable plugins and fragments -> select all -> Directory -> Select the directory -> Click Finish.
🔘 Wait until completion and now you have your plugin ready in the folder you provided!
🔘 Download from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release the package you want and install it. You will need the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers version
🔘 When you finish the installation, go to the plugins folder and find a file starts like this: org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar. X.Y.Z stands for the version. Annotate the date.
🔘 Go here and download the release with that version, if I have it.
🔘 If I don't have it, submit an issue. Submit the name of your org.eclipse.cdt_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar file, not the org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar one!
🔘 Replace the org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar and copy the other ones. Backup first the org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar file if you don't feel confident.
🔘 Update CDT to the release version you want. This step assumes you have the version Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers for your package. If you have been installed a previous Pro*C plugin for Eclipse in this version, restore the original org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar.
🔘 Search in your plugins folder the lastest org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar. You will have, at least, 2 versions of the file org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar.
🔘 Search in the releases list the lastest CDT version you have and download it.
🔘 Replace the org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar and copy the other ones. Backup first the org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar file if you don't feel confident.

⬜️ Be careful about CDT_9_4_1 and CDT_9_4_0! They use the same names with different dates. That's why you can annotate the release date, it serves as reference number for me.
✔️ Get the version numbers of each package and make the version list.
✔️ Renaming the original plugin.
✔️ Upload every version.
❌️ Buglist of everyday use.
❌️ Not modifying the original org.eclipse.cdt.core_X.Y.Z.YYYYMMDDhhmm.jar to use this plugin.
All CDT versions uses JDK 1.8 to compile them, as you can see in the manifest.mf files in each version.
