Target Platform

The target platform is a composition of OSGi bundles, i.e. Eclipse plug-ins and features. This is the platform on top of which Simantics and its applications are developed. It consists roughly of:

• selected parts of the Eclipse SDK (RCP, P2, JDT, PDE)
• Simantics SDK
• some third-party components

Target main platform maintainer is Tuukka Lehtonen

See Deploying plug-ins for the target platform for instructions on contributing to the target platform.

P2 deployment

[P2 http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/p2/] is a technology for provisioning software components for OSGi applications (e.g. anything Eclipse-based) originating from the Eclipse/Equinox project.

Simantics 1.4

Usage

• Install Eclipse IDE and Subversion connectivity plug-ins into it.
• Install the org.simantics.graph Graph Compiler version 1.1.5 into the IDE to develop ontologies.
• Checkout svn:target/branches/1.4 project from the Simantics SVN into your workspace.
• Open the contained .target file and from the top-right corner of the target definition editor, click Set as Target Platform
  • This will make Eclipse download the target platform components from simantics.org and install them as your target platform.
  • If your internet access has an HTTP proxy that causes problems while downloading, try to use the simantics-https.target instead.

Old deployment format

The following describe pre-simantics-1.4 target platform deployments. Starting from Simantics 1.4 we switch to P2-based distribution.

master

Description

Latest development version of the development version of the official Simantics target platform. This target platform is then branched and tagged for releases like 1.2, 1.3 and so on. Release branches are used for pre-release stabilisation which then turn into tags at the point of release.
