Steps to reproduce:
1. Uninstall eclipse and purge everything related.

3. Create a C++ project and a C++ file in it
4. Open the C++ file in the editor
5. Install "Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) Runtime + End-User Tools" from Europa discovery site

Actually it seems that installing **anything** with the update manager renders CDT provided by eclipse-cdt package inoperable. No, just removing and reinstalling eclipse-cdt will NOT help once it became broken by installing something with the update manager. Fortunately CDT can itself be installed with the update manager after removing the eclipse-cdt package.

Is this still an issue?

This should be fixed with the new eclipse. I'm now using the "dropins" directory in eclipse 3.4 to properly drop the cdt material in.
