    7
    
    
    
Since MASIW is a set of plugins, you need an Eclipse framework at first.





    8
    
    
    
Eclipse Neon is the main currently supported version at the moment (however, we've had some positive experience using Eclipse Oxygen, too).

Recommended variant of Eclipse is _Eclipse Modeling Tools_ variant, which can be downloaded here: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-modeling-tools/neon3

    16
    
    
    
Download the file @update-sites--masiw.xml@ attached to this page.

In Eclipse choose @Window -> Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites@, then click @Import...@ and select this file.





    18
    
    
    





    19
    
    
    
If your Eclipse installation is *not* an _Eclipse Modeling Tools_ one then do the same with the @update-sites--eclipse-neon-modelling-tools.xml@ file.

    25

h2. Using MASIW





    32
    
    
    





    33
    
    
    
MASIW has its own MASIW Perspective which should be selected with special switch (usually at the top on the right side of the window) or by selecting @Window -> Perspective -> Open Perspective@ and then choosing @MASIW@ or @Other@ and then @MASIW@. MASIW projects are best be viewed in the @MASIW Projects@ view, not in @Project explorer@. @MASIW Projects@ view allow you to perform MASIW-specific things like opening AADL-files and instance models, running analyses and etc.

Make sure that MASIW-related update sites are enabled.
