| 6 | The Modelica Development Tooling (MDT) Plug-In integrates the Open Modelica |
|---|
| 7 | compiler with Eclipse. MDT, together with the Open Modelica compiler provides an |
|---|
| 8 | environment for working with Modelica projects. |

|---|
| 11 | MDT is still in the early development stages but it does provide a simple |
|---|
| 12 | environment for a Modelica programmer. The following features are implemented so |
|---|
| 13 | far: |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | <ul> |
|---|
| 16 | <li>browsing support for modelica classes</li> |
|---|
| 17 | <li>syntax color highlighting</li> |
|---|
| 18 | <li>syntax checking</li> |
|---|
| 19 | <li>syntax error highlighting</li> |
|---|
| 20 | <li>code completion</li> |
|---|
| 21 | <li>wizards for creation of projects, packages, and classes</li> |
|---|
| 22 | <li>Modelica System Library browsing support</li> |
|---|
| 23 | </ul> |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | <h2 id = "nonfeatures">Nonfeatures</h2> |
|---|
| 26 | Some features are as of now missing from MDT: |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | <ul> |
|---|
| 29 | <li>simulation of models</li> |
|---|
| 30 | <li>loading of classes into correct namespace</li> |
|---|
| 31 | </ul> |
|---|
| 32 | |

| 33 | <h2 id = "background">Background</h2> |

| 35 | MDT is created by <a href="http://www.ida.liu.se/~pelab/">PELAB</a> at |
|---|
| 36 | <a href="http://www.liu.se">Linköping University</a> as part of an |
|---|
| 37 | <a href="http://www.ida.liu.se/~pelab/modelica/OpenModelica.html">Open Modelica</a> |
|---|
| 38 | effort. Open Modelica aims at creating a complete development environment for |
|---|
| 39 | Modelica development. |

|---|
| 41 | <h2 id = "requirements">Requirements</h2> |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | <p> |
|---|
| 44 | MDT requires at least the OpenModelica compiler |
|---|
| 45 | <a href="http://www.ida.liu.se/labs/pelab/modelica/OpenModelica.html#Download"> |
|---|
| 46 | version 1.3</a> and <a href="http://www.eclipse.org">Eclipse</a> 3.1. Other |
|---|
| 47 | versions of Open Modelica and Eclipse may work, but have not been tested. |
