We seem to be getting quite a few C-related questions on eclipse.newcomer,
which is probably a good thing. It seems most simple Java-related questions
get quickly answered on eclipse.newcomer, but at least half the C-related
questions get pushed over to eclipse.tools.cdt before being answered.
I wonder whether that's for the best, or if it's just a reflection of
Eclipse's Java-centric history? Perhaps the right answer is to encourage
more CDT experts to hang out on eclipse.newcomer. (Or perhaps they already
do, and we just don't wait long enough for answers? Though my gut sense is
that's not so.)
Just my two cents.

Maybe the downloads page (where the C/C++ package is featured) should
point users to eclipse.tools.cdt ...

That is one solution. But I'd like to see CDT as a first-class citizen.
Similarly with WTP issues (though we're a bit better on that score, perhaps
because there are more WTP devs). It'd be nice for eclipse.newcomer to
really be "the place you can get simple questions about getting up and
running with Eclipse answered," regardless of what exact flavor of Eclipse
you use.
(Meanwhile, I do hope someone on e.t.cdt helps the OP with his actual
question!)
