I am developing C++ in NetBeans 6.7.1. When I press CTRL + space for autocomplete there is shown only method's signature. I am using JavaDoc for commenting my code but NetBeans doesn't show it. I have installed Doxygen plugin but it is only for generating complete documentation.
Is there any way how to force the IDE to show signature and JavaDoc for C++ please?
I think that it should not be a problem because this functionality is currently implemented for Java.
Thanks a lot.
So I asked on NetBeans forum this question ( using friend's account because I don't have my own ) and there is the conclusion: It is impossible and it is in requests.

Let me preface this by stating I have vision problems so I have to magnify my screen upwards of 400% minimum to read most things including code - even when I am using a dark theme as I do when I code.
QTCreator has an issue where it moves the view on me with most keystrokes & actions - usually to the top left corner by the project file listing. I've posed questions to QT Support and even cloned the source for QT Creator looking to see if I could identify a relatively easy fix - to no avail. So now I'm trying to find a free (as in no financial cost) alternative to QT Creator so I can keep programming using QT Creator in C++.
I've tried Visual Studio Community Edition (2017 and 2019) and had problems getting things to build. It seemed like I had to rebuild the entire framework libraries for MSVC or else it wouldn't work. Additionally it seems it finds compilation errors in even the framework source - which doesn't even look wrong to me or I'd try to repair it.
I tried Eclipse (as I'm a Java engineer for my job so I'm familiar with Eclipse for Java and it does not have the problem that QT Creator has. The QT plugin - when I try to put a simple line of #include - It claims "QApplication" is unresolved. I've looked for this and all the answers say about Project->Properties->Paths and Symbols but as of 2019-12 and 2020-03, there are no options in settings for paths and symbols unfortunately.
A colleague suggested CLion from JetBrains but unfortunately it appears you have to pay for that. I have no intention of paying for a compiler or IDE.
Any thoughts on how I can get around this view changing problem or an alternative to QTCreator that doesn't cost money? If there's a setting in one of the applications I may have missed, suggest it with the version of the appication and I'll look for it and reply if it doesn't exist for whatever reason or accept your answer if it does and fixes the problem.
Thank you!
If you are familiar with Eclipse but have issues with the plugins and you intend using it for C++ I recommend checking out Cevelop (https://www.cevelop.com/) it's basically Eclipse but only for C++ and has some optimizations.
If that doesn't work for you technically you should be able to use any code editor like VSCode or Atom, but I do not know how well that works with the Qt library.
CLion is free for students but I think that doesn't apply for you.
NetBeans (https://netbeans.org/) is also free and cross-platform.

It should be possible to use Qt within the IDE.
I am looking for a C++ IDE, typically for debugging purpose. In particular, where I can navigate in source code; say method definition, member declaration etc.
I am a Java developer and use Eclipse. I create J2ME project in Eclipse, build it and finally deploy it at same place. At the time of debugging I can easily trace out what I am looking for.
For C/C++ support I installed plug-in "Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools".
After installing above plug-in, C/C++ code open with font/style/color...but not able to navigate :(
Please help me.
Thanks,
Amit
the cdt plugin from eclipse works fine for me. Perhaps you should update to the latest version and make sure you change your perspective to c++.
Another great c++ ide is qtcreator.
I've been using Visual Studio 2010 for C++ development for a while but I'd like to move to an open source option. I'm considering using Eclipse C++. Are there any problems with it that I should know about? Also, I want to develop GUI applications. Presumably Eclipse allows this but I can't find any documentation on it (surprisingly)?
Can someone please point me in the right direction for starting with Eclipse?
Thanks for your help.
I was about to close this as a duplicate shopping question, but the GUI part is what stopped me.
You have two very good options:
Qt Creator: integrated version control, debugger support and Qt GUI editor.
Code::Blocks: integrated debugger, some plugins and a wxWidgets GUI editor.
Netbeans is better and faster than Eclipse in coding C++. that's my personal opinion
I've been reading up on Doxygen online, and I think I'd like to try it out on my Netbeans C++ projects. The problem is, I cannot find any tutorials/guides anywhere to how to get Doxygen working with Netbeans. I've found some blog posts that seem to be about using Doxygen in Netbeans, but they seem semi-feature requesty, and I cannot tell if they are actual guides or just "this is what it should look like when it is done" posts. So, does anyone here have any experience of working with Doxygen and Netbeans?
There is no need for support from IDE to use Doxygen, you can use them separately. To create Doxygen documentation you just need a source code and Doxygen compiler.
However IDE can serve some kind of support. Netbeans allows you quickly create a comment (see here). That's the only support I know.
There is also plug-in "Doxygen Integration" but I never used it.
I'm figuring out that there's two ways of writing C++ in Eclipse: either download the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers or download the regular Eclipse for java and add the CDT plugin. What is the difference between these two? (Note that I'm already exstensively using Eclipse for Java) Thank you
The C++ tools end up the same so depends if you use Eclipse for other things.
If for other things then I would start with the more complex setup e.g. if you do Java J2EE I would download the Eclipse J2EE then add the C++ tools
If just C++ start with the Eclipse C++
I also found using the Yoxos/Eclipse Source packaging easier to download extra packages. (unless you need the absolute latest patch)
edit:
Sorry I did not read the question fully I have given the general answer. However as you have eclipse working and setup already and if you are happy then just download the C++ plugins. Note I have a separate workspace for java and C++ helps as you will want different perpecives etc and also cuts down on the projects in the explore rs/
Or use EasyEclipse for C/C++ and get a few other useful tools pre-integrated too.
