2. Setting Up OSATE
This section describes how to set up your Eclipse environment so that you can run OSATE and develop plug-ins to OSATE. You need to have a Java SDK installed, at least version 1.4.2. This guide does not cover the installation of the JVM and Java SDK. For OSATE, you need to install three components:
    • The Eclipse IDE.
    • The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) plug-ins.
    • The OSATE plug-ins.
You can install these components separately, or if you do not already have Eclipse installed, you can download a complete OSATE SDK that is packaged with all the necessary plug-ins from the AADL homepage.
These instructions assume a fresh Eclipse installation.
