We have developed an Eclipse plug-in for you to use DeltaJ 1.5 and it available at our new Eclipse plug-in site [1]. This website guides you through the installation process of the DeltaJ 1.5 plug-in. It works best with the latest Eclipse Luna (4.4.x). If you have not installed Eclipse, please download Eclipse first. We recommand the Standard IDE or the IDE for Java and DSL developers. To install the DeltaJ plug-in, please use the Install New Software... feature of Eclipse. The next steps show how to successfully install the plug-in.

  2. In the appearing window you will find the Work with textfield. You can click the [Add] button aside the textfield to permanently add the DeltaJ plug-in site to your Eclipse sources or simply copy the link to our plug-in site [1] into the textfield. Then, hit [Enter] on your keyboard to start the lookup process of Eclipse.
