The MegaM@Rt2 Eclipse IDE

Also, in accordance with the release plan described in D5.1, this document describes the release of the first version of the MegaM@Rt Integrated Framework. It is the MegaM@Rt² Eclipse IDE, which is released to the end-users in two different flavors:

• The MegaM@Rt² Eclipse update site: this common online update site enables end-users to install individual MegaM@Rt² tools (as Eclipse plugins) on their own existing compatible Eclipse IDEs.
• The MegaM@Rt² Eclipse bundle: this downloadable Eclipse bundle includes the complete set of MegaM@Rt² Eclipse-based tools integrated within the above update site, as well as all required third-party dependencies.

The following subsections provide additional details about the implementation of both artifacts.

MegaM@Rt Eclipse Update Site

The MegaM@Rt² Eclipse update site enables end-users to install into their own Eclipse instances individual (or the complete set of) MegaM@Rt² tools integrated within the common MegaM@Rt² Eclipse IDE. This IDE is based on the Eclipse Modeling 2018-09 version, which can be downloaded independently from: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2018-09/r

The following MegaM@Rt² tools have been integrated within the update site:

• Papyrus extensions: https://github.com/megamart2/tool-papyrus-extensions
• Moka extensions: https://github.com/megamart2/tool-papyrus-extensions
• NeoEMF: https://github.com/atlanmod/NeoEMF
• EMFViews: https://github.com/atlanmod/emfviews
• Collaboro: https://github.com/megamart2/tool-collaboro
• EMFToCSP: https://github.com/megamart2/tool-emftocsp
• PADRE: https://github.com/SEALABQualityGroup/padre
• VeriATL: https://github.com/veriatl/VeriATL/
• JTL: https://github.com/MDEGroup/jtl-eclipse

Other MegaM@Rt² tools are still in the process of integration and should be added in the next release:

• HepsyCode: HW/SW CO-DEsign of HEterogeneous Parallel dedicated SYstems
• CHESS: CHESS source code repository

These tools require to be upgraded to Eclipse Modeling 2019-08. The development team is analyzing the feasibility and cost of such an upgrade.

The Eclipse-based tools whose distribution license is commercial will neither be integrated within this update site nor delivered within the MegaM@Rt² Eclipse IDE bundle, since they cannot be freely distributed:

• XPM
• Conformiq Designer

There is another Eclipse-based tool with a restricted distribution license, namely S3D. The development team is currently evaluating the feasibility of a joint package and delivery within the MegaM@Rt² Eclipse IDE (update site, bundle).

The MegaM@Rt² Eclipse update site is available at: https://github.com/megamart2/integration/raw/master/eu.megamart2.platform.site

This site has been implemented as an Eclipse site project using as target the Eclipse Modelling 2018-09 and other third party required dependencies, whose update sites have been defined in the Eclipse platform target defined at: https://github.com/megamart2/integration/tree/master/eu.megamart2.platform.target

 

Getting started with MegaM@Rt update site

Step 1: Use an existing instance of Eclipse Modeling 2018-09 or download/unzip it from: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2018-09/r

Step 2: Register the following software sites within the Eclipse IDE:

• AspectJ: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/48/dev/update/
• Epsilon: http://download.eclipse.org/epsilon/updates/
• GMF: https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmp/gmf-tooling/updates/releases/
• Graphviz: jar:https://github.com/abstratt/eclipsegraphviz/releases/download/2.2.201606.201704061406/com.abstratt.eclipsegraphviz.repository-2.2.201606.zip!/
• MARTE: https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/papyrus/components/marte/
• Moka:https://github.com/megamart2/org.eclipse.papyrus-moka/raw/master/releng/org.eclipse.papyrus.moka.p2/target/repository
• Nebula: http://download.eclipse.org/nebula/releases/2.0.1
• Orbit: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/S20180820175350/repository

These sites are required to install the required third party dependencies of the MegaM@Rt² Eclipse IDE.

Register the MegaM@Rt² Eclipse IDE site MegaM@Rt²: https://github.com/megamart2/integration/raw/master/eu.megamart2.platform.site

To register each one of these software sites, proceed several times as follows (see Figure 5):

1. Go to the Eclipse main menu Help/Install New Software
2. On the Install wizard, click on the .. button
3. For each site on above list:
   1. On the Preference wizard, click on the .. button
   2. Enter the site name and location (i.e. the URL listed above for each site)

Once this process is completed, the lists of available software sites should look like what is shown in Figure 6.

Step 3: Install the following dependencies:

• Papyrus, using the 2018-09 software site
• Moka, using the Moka software site

Step 4: Install MegaM@Rt² tools, using the MegaM@Rt² software site. You can either install individual tools or the complete set, on demand (see Figure 7).

In other to install the dependencies and the MegaM@Rt² tools, follow the procedure described in what comes next:

1. Go to the Eclipse main menu Help/Install New Software
2. In the Work with combo box, select the target software site. Wait for it to be loaded
3. In case of Papyrus installation, search for it in the type filter text (see Figure 8)
4. Select the software to install
5. Check the checkbox: Contact all update sites during install to find required software
6. Proceed through the following wizard pages, accepting when prompted.
7. Restart Eclipse after each software tool is installed.
8. After each restart, check that the tool has been installed (see Figure 9)
   1. Go to the main menu Help/About Eclipse IDE
   2. In this wizard, click on Installation details
   3. Find the tool in the list of Installed Software tab

MegaM@Rt² Eclipse IDE Bundle

They are available for download at the MegaM@Rt² Web site. They are temporarily accessible from the MegaM@Rt² Google Drive site for all consortium partners (only):

• MegaM@Rt Eclipse IDE for Linux
• MegaM@Rt Eclipse IDE for MacOS
• MegaM@Rt Eclipse IDE for Windows

These IDE bundles have been created by following the installation procedure described in the previous subsection.

The MegaM@Rt² Eclipse IDE bundle is based on Eclipse Modeling 2018-09 and includes Papyrus, Moka, all plugin dependencies required by the integrated MegaM@Rt² tools and all the integrated MegaM@Rt² tools listed in previous section.
