title: How to set up Eclipse for FPGA design in VHDL and Verilog)?
body: <p>I am new with Eclipse, I have used it for SW development and in Altra environment for Nios processor. But now, I have a pretty large project that I have to manage and I would like to use Eclipse to have all the files in the system to make it easier to manage and update.</p>
  
  <p>The project has multiple directories for various IPs and has multiple targets for ASCI, Xilinx and Altera FPGAs. In a near future the project will support both NIOS, Microblaze and ARM processors and I would really like to keep the whole project in one Eclipse project file if possible. I have tried several different options, but nothing seems to work properly.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for some freeware and not commercial programs like Sigasi. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  Farhad</p>

  <p>This is an update to let others know about my progress.</p>
  
  <p>Well, I finally managed to get it to work.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I installed the latest version of <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Main_Page" rel="noreferrer">Eclipse</a> on my PC</li>
  <li>Installed  version 6 of Java (the only one I could get to work) </li>
  <li>Installed the latest version of the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/veditor" rel="noreferrer">VEditor</a> into Eclipse. </li>
  <li>Mounted the Linux project directory as my P disk on PC</li>
  <li>created a new project in Eclipse and linked it to the one on the P drive. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>It took some time to figure this out, but it now works perfectly. </p>
