What should I download?

 

If you are new to Eclipse download the product version.

 

If you have some Eclipse-based environment download the plug-in version.

 

 

What’s the difference between product version and plug-in version?

 

Product version is MDT plug-in installed on Eclipse platform. Both versions have exactly the same functionalities. Plug-in version have to be added to existing Eclipse platform or to existing Eclipse-based environment such as Eclipse IDE for Java Developers or MyEclipse.

 

If you are using MyEclipse, IMB Rational Team Concert or other environments based on Eclipse, please activate MDT on a fresh Eclipse platform and then add other plug-ins. These plug-ins interfere with MDT’s activation process.

 

 

What is required to run MDT?

 

You can run product version after unpacking the zip file and activating the license received from our eShop. Activation requires SSL connection. If you are using proxy you will have to set it properly in Eclipse.

 

To run the plug-in version you have to install Eclipse 3.4 or 3.5 and EMF and have Java JRE 1.5.x, 1.6.0.4 or later installed.

 

 

What’s new in version 1.1?
