3.1 Installation of OSATE Bundled with Eclipse
Download OSATE bundled with Eclipse and EMF for your platform from www.aadl.info/OSATEDownloads.html.   This installation is available both as a runtime environment for AADL modeling and analysis, and as an SDK for OSATE plug-in development.  For the runtime version, the zip file is called “osate-1.2-topcased-<date>-rt- eclipse-3.1.2-emf-2.1.2.<os>.<platform>.zip”.  The SDK version is named similarly, with “sdk” substituted for “rt”. 
Install OSATE bundled with Eclipse by extracting the zip file to a location of your choice on your hard disk. OSATE/Eclipse will be placed into a folder called “eclipse” at the specified location.  We refer to this folder as the installation root folder of your installation.  This folder can be renamed. The installation of Eclipse and OSATE does not make any changes to the operating system registry.
To add a shortcut to the executable, go to the installation root folder and find the “eclipse.exe” executable. You can create a shortcut to it and give it a name of your choice, e.g., “osate-1.2”. You can place this shortcut on your desktop, add it to your program menu, or add it to the quickstart toolbar.
You can have multiple Eclipse installations in the same machine. These can be installations of different releases of Eclipse, of different releases of OSATE, or the same release of OSATE with different experimental plug-ins.
