Getting Assistance for Programming in the IDE

Intel MKL provides an Eclipse* IDE plug-in (com.intel.mkl.help) that contains the Intel(R) Math Kernel Library (Intel(R) MKL) Reference Manual (see High-level Directory Structure for the plug-in location after the library installation). To install the plug-in, do one of the following:

Use the Eclipse IDE Update Manager (recommended).

To invoke the Manager, use Help > Software Updates command in your Eclipse IDE.
Copy the plug-in to the plugins folder of your Eclipse IDE directory.

In this case, if you use earlier C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) versions (3.x, 4.x), delete or rename the index subfolder in the eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.help.base folder of your Eclipse IDE to avoid delays in Index updating.

The following Intel MKL features assist you while programming in the Eclipse* IDE:

The Intel MKL Reference Manual viewable from within the IDE
Eclipse Help search tuned to target the Intel Web sites
Code/Content Assist in the Eclipse IDE CDT

The Intel MKL plug-in for Eclipse IDE provides the first two features.

The last feature is native to the Eclipse IDE CDT. See the Code Assist description in Eclipse IDE Help for details.
