If you right-click on your project and select 
"Debug As->Local C/C++ Applications" it should start the debugger.

Yes, the documentation included in eclipse has not been updated
in too long.  Contributions would help get the ball rolling.

We desperatly need someone to take charge of the Windows side
of the CDT debugging.  Someone that would try out features
and report problems regularly would already be a great help.

I'm glad you took the time to write this email.  If people
give up without letting us know why, we can't improve.
I can't promise to get the docs all better soon, but your
point will hopefully remind us to keep the docs updated.

Thanks
