Eclipse Installations (FAQs)

Is it possible to install the Eclipse Modelling Tools on an Eclipse for Java Development set-up?

The answer is yes, but it is not always obvious how to do so. In Help > Install New Software... you will need to select the Update Site for your release of Eclipse (eg. for the 2019-12 version this is http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-12) and then you may need to disable the option Group items by category to see the item Eclipse Modeling Tools.

Is it possible to import multiple Eclipse projects at once?

As a RoboTool developer working on multiple projects, you may have wondered whether this is possible. It is possible by using the Team Project Sets available at https://github.com/robo-star/circus.robocalc.projectSets.

Is it possible to install all Eclipse dependencies for development at once?

No, not at the moment. This would require us to provide a bundle with those (Sirius, Modeling Tools, Xtext, etc.).

Is there a question that you'd like to ask or have an answer for?

Edit and answer as appropriate.
