See also the JPackage repository (
jpackage.org) for Eclipse RPMs and
many other Java-related tools and systems.
There is a C/C++ plugin for Eclipse (called CDT). It seems pretty
featureful (maybe not as mature as the Java one), though I'm just trying
to learn it now.
I use source-navigator for C/C++, etc. (it handles other stuff, too).
You have to build it from source, but it's pretty nifty. If you want to
use a GUI debugger with it, you also need to build and install insight,
too (based on gdb).

Works for me!
