The current Kermeta version is 2.0.6. Kermeta has been mainly tested on Eclipse 3.7.2 (modelling version is preferred) and also works on Juno 4.2.1 works too.
Note: If you want to use Kermeta 1.x see the History section at the bottom of the page.
Minimum requirement:
- Eclipse 3.6.x (Indigo)
- Java JDK 1.5 or above (important !!! the plugin fails with strange errors if you do not use this version of java or if you use a JRE instead of a JDK, this must be set in your eclipse.ini file via the "-vm" option)
Additional and optional tools:
For more advanced usages of Kermeta you can optionnally install the following thirdparty tools :
- M2E (from the eclipse official site) : it provides the click interface in order to build jar from kermeta programs.
- scala-ide (from http://scala-ide.org/download/current.html or http://scala-ide.org/download/milestone.html depending on your eclipse version ) : this allows to debug the generated code in a more convenient way.
