Eclipse started as an open source development platform by IBM

Highly customizable generic features for specific domain solutions

Customization through open plug-in architecture

The Eclipse platform integrates multiple development tools for software development

It allows tools to be added through the use of plug-ins

Eclipse offers several advanced C/C++ coding environments

Features appealing to the “coder” persona

Both open source [C/C++ development tools (CDT)] and proprietary

Realtime operating system (RTOS) vendors offer Eclipse-based environments

Integrates with configuration management and product management tools

Challenges facing embedded developers Increasing complexity and accelerating changes Unrelenting financial pressures and need to better manage risk Compliance with key engineering and design processes Effectiveness of organizationally and geographically distributed teams Building more innovative products to grow the business Aerospace & Defense Automotive Telecom/ Datacom Consumer Electronics Medical Devices

Traditional software development An optimal approach would be to fix errors as they are introduced, thereby reducing your cost of development! Requirements Design Implementation Test Costs of design changes Time Induced errors

An optimal approach would be to fix errors as they are introduced, thereby reducing your cost of development!

Goal of a Telelogic ® Rhapsody ® Model-Driven Development ™ approach Helping you catch defects as they are introduced, reducing costs of development Costs of design changes Time Induced errors

Model-driven development Model-driven development (MDD) enables developers to capture the design using graphical models Visualizing design concepts increases understandability Use Object Management Group (OMG) Unified Modeling Language (UML) or a domain-specific language (DSL) Achieving the full benefits of MDD requires model and code synchronization

Model-driven development (MDD) enables developers to capture the design using graphical models

Visualizing design concepts increases understandability

Use Object Management Group (OMG) Unified Modeling Language (UML) or a domain-specific language (DSL)

Achieving the full benefits of MDD requires model and code synchronization

Benefits of modeling Modeling gives us the ability to visualize the system clearly Modeling simplifies the problem through abstraction Executable models enable early prototyping

Rhapsody integration with Eclipse Integrated MDD within Eclipse environment Enable synchronized model or code development workflow Leverage Eclipse to tailor the environment for your needs Eclipse code editor Rhapsody diagram editors

Integrated MDD within Eclipse environment

Enable synchronized model or code development workflow

Leverage Eclipse to tailor the environment for your needs

Integrated design and debug environment Natural workflow for code-centric developers Perform design- or code-level debugging in single environment Leverage Eclipse tools with Rhapsody data, such as team collaboration Use Eclipse Intellisense View build errors View Rhapsody diagrams View model information

Natural workflow for code-centric developers

Perform design- or code-level debugging in single environment

Leverage Eclipse tools with Rhapsody data, such as team collaboration

Collaborative development with Eclipse Collaborative platform facilitating: Online collaboration of project artifacts Integrate work items management Online project tracking dashboards Real-time project presence and messaging Rhapsody eclipse plug-ins inter operate with the Rational Team Concert plug-ins Leverages Jazz and Eclipse technologies Connecting modeling project with change streams Associating changes with work-items Automatic merging of trivial changes Activate diff-merge for non-trivial changes

Collaborative platform facilitating:

Online collaboration of project artifacts

Integrate work items management

Online project tracking dashboards

Real-time project presence and messaging

Rhapsody eclipse plug-ins inter operate with the Rational Team Concert plug-ins

Leverages Jazz and Eclipse technologies

Connecting modeling project with change streams

Associating changes with work-items

Automatic merging of trivial changes

Activate diff-merge for non-trivial changes

Integrated team collaboration with RTC User 1 – adds a new class Change gets listed in pending changes list

Deliver completed work Associate changes to work item and deliver it to RTC

Team is notified of changes User 2 – is notified of the incoming changes and can accept them
