MS Visual C++ toolchain in Eclipse IDE for Java developers

First, the procedure for installing Microsoft Visual C++ toolchain in Eclipse IDE for Java developers and Windows 11 is presented.
Then, a C++ 64-bit HelloWorld project is implemented.
Finally, C++ 64-bit shared library svdComplexDevice1.dll is generated with Microsoft Visual C++ toochain in Eclipse IDE for Java developers.

Visual Studio Community 2022 is needed.
