Installation of Eclipse ESCET tools
First, obtain the Eclipse ESCET tools:
-
Download the Eclipse ESCET tools.
-
Extract the downloaded archive somewhere on your hard disk, to a new empty directory where you have read and write access.
You can now start the Eclipse ESCET IDE:
-
For Windows, execute
eclipse.exe
from the directory that contains the extracted files. -
For Linux, execute
eclipse
from the directory that contains the extracted files. -
For macOS, open the downloaded
.dmg
file by double clicking. This opens a window with the Eclipse app and a shortcut icon to your Applications folder. Drag the Eclipse icon onto the Applications folder icon. This causes the Eclipse app to be copied to the Applications folder, where all apps can be found. You can now open the Eclipse app from the Applications folder.The first time you open the Eclipse app, you will get an error message saying either "Eclipse" can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software or "Eclipse" can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the App store. Dismiss the popup by clicking OK. Go to
, click Security & Privacy, then click tab General. Under Allow apps downloaded from: you should see in light grey two tick boxes: one for App Store and one for App Store and identified developers. Below that, you should see an additional line: "Eclipse.app" was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer, and after that, a button Open Anyway. Clicking that button will allow the Eclipse app to be executed.
For more information, see the section on starting the Eclipse ESCET IDE for the first time.
You can now also use the command line scripts located in the bin
directory. These are only available for Windows and Linux, not for macOS. To see which tools are available, simply look in this directory. Each of these tools can be started with the -h
or --help
option to get further information. You may want to add the bin
directory to your PATH
environment variable. See e.g. How do I set or change the PATH system variable? for how to achieve this.
