Installation
The minimal requirement for java is Java 6 (aka Java 1.6).
Some functionalities (e.g. ProR "Rich Text" extension) won't work with Java 6 and require Java 7. However, core tools of openETCS tool chain (e.g. Papyrus SysML editor) have not been qualified for Java 7.
- The openETCS Toolchain is available in the following URL for downloading: https://openetcs.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openETCS-tycho/28/artifact/tool/bundles/org.openetcs.releng.products/target/
- Unzip main folder to extract the content in the desired location.
- Launch openETCS executable file to run Eclipse.
- Select your workspace.
There are a number of free (but currently not open) extensions that are useful for working with openETCS. As they are not open, they have to be installed manually. Currently this includes:
- Suspect Links - indicates if source or target of a link have changed.
- Rich Text - shows formatted text properly formatted, and allows editing with a rich text editor.
The Rich Text extension requires Java 7 from Oracle, as it relies on the JavaFX component.
Here are the steps:
- Select Help | Install new Software...
- You need to enter a new update site in the Works with box (if you entered it before, you can select it from the drop down): http://update.formalmind.com/essentials
- From the Category ProR Essentials for Eclipse RMF select:
- ProR Linkmanagement Presentation Feature
- ProR Xhtml Rtf Presentation Feature
Make sure you select version 0.10 or better. The update site structure will probably change in the future.
- Follow the installation wizard.
- The use of the feature is explained further down.
At this point, there is no automatic upgrade. Therefore, you need to download new versions from openETCS.org. You can simply extract the new archive over the old one.
