Eclipse Automotive Tool Platform

This is work package 1 of the Automotive Industry Working Group.

  • Project Lead: Bosch (TBD)

One key activity of the Eclipse Automotive IWG is to define and provide an Eclipse Automotive Tool Platform consisting of selected existing Eclipse components that are typically required and used in the automotive industry. The intention of this platform is to provide a reference for both vendors and users of Eclipse-based automotive software design tools and to enable the latter to be consistently and reliably integrated in user-defined tool chains.

Though not including any automotive specific content yet, we believe that such an Eclipse distribution makes anyway sense because of the following reasons:

  • It points out which Eclipse projects and components are actively used in the automotive industry
  • It gives an orientation regarding the Eclipse releases and component versions which Eclipse-based automotive software design tools are or should be based on
  • It

The implementation of the Eclipse Automotive Tools Platform includes a corresponding Eclipse package made available for download at Eclipse.org [3]. The name of the package is going to be "Eclipse IDE for Automotive Software Developers" which concisely describes the targeted audience and appears to be well aligned with names of existing Eclipse packages. In addition to Eclipse Platform, Java Development Tools, and Plug-in Development Environment, it will include EMF, GMF, Xtext, UML, selected other modeling components, C/C++ Development Tools, and XML/XSD editors and tools. It will bundle the complete SDKs, i.e., runtime binaries, source code, and documentation.
