Installation of the bleeding edge version

Instruction version 22.02.2018.

Install Eclipse (if you don't have one)

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

Tune update sites

At first, you need to add all needed update sites.

Download the file update-sites--masiw.xml attached to this page: https://forge.ispras.ru/attachments/download/5640/update-sites--masiw.xml .
In Eclipse choose Window -> Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites, then click Import... and select this file.

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: https://forge.ispras.ru/attachments/download/5594/update-sites--eclipse-neon-modelling-tools.xml .

Perform installation

Download the file masiw--to-install.p2f attached to this page: https://forge.ispras.ru/attachments/download/5595/masiw--to-install.p2f .
Choose File -> Import... -> Install -> Install Software Items from File, then click Browse and select this file.
Then select Contact all update sites during install to find required software, this is important!
Click Next couple of times, agree with licenses and click Finish.

During installation Eclipse may ask for installation of unsigned content, this is a known issue, you should continue installation.
After installation you should restart Eclipse.

Using MASIW

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.

Further updates

To update MASIW later, you need to click Help -> Check for updates (if this is not done automatically).
Make sure that MASIW-related update sites are enabled.
