Finding the tool’s version number
From the Eclipse ESCET IDE, there are multiple ways to find out which version of the toolkit or specific tools you have currently installed:
-
Via the Eclipse About Eclipse ESCET dialog.
The About Eclipse ESCET dialog can be opened via the
menu of the Eclipse ESCET IDE. The dialog shows the version of the Eclipse ESCET toolkit. An Installation Details button is available to open the Eclipse Installation Details dialog. In this dialog, the Installed Software tab shows all the installed software, including their versions under the Version column. -
Via the option dialogs of the various tools.
Most of the Eclipse ESCET tools can be started in a way that shows the option dialog for that tool. All option dialogs for our tools have a Help category. By clicking on that category, the help text for that tool is shown. The help text includes the version of the tool that you are using.
-
Via the command line option, in a ToolDef script.

-h
or--help
option to see the command line help text, which includes the version.
