Adding ESP32 boards into Arduino Download manager on Eclipse

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Hi,

I'm using the latest Eclipse IDE (4.14.0) and ESP-IDF (4.0.0) downloads - native ESP-IDF works fine programming the DOIT boards I'm using...

I'd like to import some Arduino IDE projects as I prefer the Eclipse IDE (a lot of stuff is integrated with my projects there).

So, I've installed the "Eclipse C++ IDE for Arduino 3.0" plugin, but it only shows the default boards.

Can the various ESP32 boards be added to the Package/Platform part of the Arduino Download Manager in Eclipse? Is this even the right thing to try to do?

Many thanks

EDIT: Just to be completely clear, this is NOT a question about adding ESP32 board support into the Arduino IDE (that's easy). It's a question about adding ESP32 board support into the Arduino plugin for Eclipse...

Anyone?

It seems they get rather cross when you discuss Eclipse over here.

In any case, go to Window => Preferences => C/C++ => Arduino. That's where you add your JSON URLs, a la Arduino IDE.

Hope this helps.
