I am finding that I have to remove DDT from Eclipse in order to get the latest CDT. Is this to be expected?

Thanks.

I had to do the same.  It has something to do with the required version for the GDB plugin.  I ended up just keeping two separate installations of eclipse (one for CDT and everything else, and one for DDT).  This seems a little wasteful, but it's not that uncommon (NSight Eclipse for CUDA and Octclipse for Octave are two examples of other eclipse-mods that work in a standalone copy of Eclipse)

Yes, it is expected (even if not ideal). The "C/C++ DSF GDB Debugger Integration" feature had its version bumped from 4.2.0 directly to 8.3.0 (I guess to have the same version as the rest of CDT features).

DDT is setup to be strict about dependencies and does not allow a bump of the major version. (in this case it's likely the API is compatible though). I'll fix this soon and test the new CDT debugger version, as well as investigate some other pending debugger issues.
