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 |
---|

---|
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. |
