This page lists tools and utility program created for the Simantics project.

Project Set Tester

A useful tool for checking 2 things about Eclipse project set files:

1. Do all locations listed in .psf files exist in their designated repositories?
2. What are the differences between the contents of a specified Eclipse workspace and a set of projects listed by .psf files? Allows you to see what the workspace contains that is not in .psf's and vice versa.

Eclipse Copyright Tool

For updating and fixing copyright statements .java, .properties and .xml files easily from the Eclipse IDE.

To install the tool into your Eclipse:

1. download this prebuilt version of the org.eclipse.releng.tools plug-in and place it in your Eclipse installation's dropins directory
2. restart your IDE
3. see HOWTO for usage.
