Installation

Setting up an Eclipse IDE

Download and install the latest Eclipse Modeling Tools 32 Bit package.

Prerequistes

1. Windows Vista, 7 (Linux or Mac is not supported)
2. Enterprise Architect 9.1 or greater
3. Latest Eclipse Modeling Tools 32Bit

Getting the source code

The source code of EATOP MMGen Tool is managed in a Git repository.

• Clone the git repository: git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/eatop/org.eclipse.eatop.git
• Import all the plugins under metamodelgen folder into your workspace

Adding Enterprise Architect API

Make sure the Enterprise Architect 9.1 or greater has been installed on your computer.

• Copy eaapi.jar from your installation, e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA\Java API, to:

   org.eclipse.eatop.eaadapter/lib
   org.eclipse.eatop.metamodel/lib

• Copy SSJavaCOM.dll from your installation to:

   org.eclipse.eatop.eaadapter
   org.eclipse.eatop.eaadapter/lib
   org.eclipse.eatop.metamodel
   org.eclipse.eatop.metamodel/lib

Setting the target platform

EATOP MMGen Tool provides target platform definitions for the two latest Eclipse releases. These target definitions are in the project org.eclipse.eatop.metamodelgen.tool.targetdefs.

• Open the target definition file xxx.target that corresponds to the Eclipse release you want to work with;
• Wait for the completion of the Resolving Target Definition operation. This may take a while, in particular at the first time, because all directly and indirectly required target platform plug-ins and features are being downloaded or updated as necessary during that operation. If errors occur, try to close and reopen the target definition file so as to re-trigger the target platform resolution;
• Click on link Set as Target Platform (in the upper right corner of the target editor).
