About this task
The IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® plug-in
for Eclipse has two implementations:
- Rational Rhapsody Workflow
Integration allows the software developer to work in Rational Rhapsody and
use some Eclipse features through Rational Rhapsody menu
commands. This integration can be used for C, C++, and Java development in either Windows or Linux environments.
Both Eclipse and Rational Rhapsody must
be open when the developer is using this integration.
- Rational Rhapsody Platform
Integration permits developers to work on a Rational Rhapsody project
completely within Eclipse. Rational Rhapsody does
not need to be open for this implementation. This integration can
be used for C, C++, or Java development
in a Windows environment
only.
The Rational Rhapsody Workflow
integration with Eclipse allows software developers to work on Rational Rhapsody C,
C++, and Java projects in Eclipse or WindRiver Eclipse Workbench to
perform these tasks:
- Create a IDE (integrated
development environment)
configuration in the product in order to perform the following tasks:
- work in Eclipse on a new Rational Rhapsody project
- attach an existing Rational Rhapsody project
to an existing Eclipse project
- Import
legacy Eclipse models into Rational Rhapsody UML
models
- Edit the project in Eclipse and rebuild
it automatically in both Rational Rhapsody and
Eclipse
- Use the debugging facilities in Rational Rhapsody and
Eclipse in a synchronized manner
- Use Rational Rhapsody reverse
engineering with an active Eclipse configuration
- Disconnect
an Eclipse project from the associated Rational Rhapsody configuration
