RoboSim Metamodel

This repository contains the eclipse plugins that implement that metamodel of RoboSim.

Development platform requirements

• Eclipse 2019-06
• Xtext 2.18.0 can be found in the standard repository in http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/ but the option "Show only the latest versions of available software" needs to be unchecked.
• Maven
• Git

Build (maven)

    1. mvn clean install

Build (eclipse)

    1. Right click circus.robocalc.robosim/model/robosim.genmodel 
        1. click 'reload'
        2. select 'Ecore model' and click 'Next'
        3. click 'Next'
        4. click 'Finish'
    2. In the open RoboChart.genmodel

(The genmodel file refers to the RoboChart.genmodel file via a URL. It seems this is resolved to a local path when the file is open in eclipse. Do not commit this change.)
