Development of the CDT is currently still focused on providing compatability
to the Eclipse 2.1.1 framework. Since Eclipse 3.0 will eventually start
breaking
things and being incompatible with Eclipse 2.x, we have not yet migrated.
If
you look at the release plan, the plan for the CDT 1.2 release is to be
Eclipse 2.1.x
compatible.

Thanks,
Thomas

I can't talk about in-depth compatability, but I tested a little with
R3.0 M2 release. What I did was:
1) copy <eclipseroot>/features/org.eclipse.platform_3.0.0
to <eclipseroot>/features/org.eclipse.platform_2.1.0
2) edit the feature.xml in <eclipseroot>/org.eclipse.platform_2.1.0
at line 5: change version="3.0.0" to version="2.1.0"
3) go to Update Manager and install CDT 1.2.x

That should allow CDT to be installed. However, how it will correspond
to Eclipse API changes in 3.0 should be well tested, Right now, I have
created an Managed C++ Project and it seems to work as CDT 1.2.x works
in Eclipse 2.1.X. Since CDT 1.2.x is still in flux, I can't tell about
other releases.
