Trouble installing Ecore Tools SDK

Question

I am using Eclipse Juno EE and I can not install the Ecore Tools SDK. I have tried everything, searched everywhere and I cant find a solution. I tried via the Install New Software Manager, the Market, I even downloaded the archive file(when I try to install it with the archive from the site it tells me that no software was found). While searching, I found that article: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/354109/ where this guy "Cedric Brun" gives a link for instalation ( http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/ecoretools/updates/1.1/201205140421 ). I tried the link, installed the SDK(at least I think so), but now when I click on New... There is no Ecore Tools folder with options, and I can't create Ecore Diagrams. Do someone have a solution to that problem?

Answer 1

Since I'm running the Eclipse Modeling package, it is already installed, but checking the update site "Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno" shows the "Ecore Tools SDK" under the category "Modeling".

Have you tried installing from that repo? http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno

Answer 2

For installing Ecore Tool go to Help -> Install new software and use one of these links :

• for eclipse mars http://download.eclipse.org/ecoretools/updates/releases/3.0.1/mars
• for older versions http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/ecoretools/updates/1.2/201306071421

Note that after installation is possible that to make a new ecore diagram in the fallowing ways:

• File->New->Other...Ecore Tool->Ecore Diagram
• File->New->Other...Other->Ecore Diagram
• Via the context menu - right click on a .ecore file and select Initialize Ecore Diagram...

Also you can go to Help->Install New Software... select your eclipse release site and under Modeling check the Diagram Editor for Ecore (SDK) you will probably need Eclipse Modeling Framework SDK to.
