ESP-IDF Eclipse Plugin v2.7.0
This is a minor release that offers Eclipse 2022-09 support, core dump debugging, automatic loading of SVD files for peripherals view, hints viewers for troubleshooting, index improvements, and many other bug fixes.
You should be able to install IEP 2.7.0 update site in Eclipse CDT 2022-06 and higher. If you're using Eclipse Embedded 2022-06 and higher will be an update site error, however, eclipse suggests an alternative solution that will still install the 2.7.0 plugin correctly and shouldn't impact anything else.
Important Notes:
- During previous releases, esp_idf_components used to be generated as part of the project root and that got moved to project/build/ide/esp_idf_components, hence project/esp_idf_components folder needs to be deleted manually before the build for the first time.
- After updating from v2.6.0 to v2.7.0 make sure you run the "Install Tools" from the Espressif menu since we have added webocket dependency as part of the core dump debugging feature IDF monitor might fail if we don't do this.

Windows Users
If you're starting new, always prefer installing Espressif-IDE through the Windows Installer package from here https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/ this will install ESP-IDF v4.4.2 and required toolchains along with the IDE
However, in the above link, you will find Espressif-IDE 2.6.0 with ESP-IDF 4.4.2 so after installing this you need to update the IDE to 2.7.0 through the update site (will soon update the Windows installer as well!)
