Labs 4 Capella
A space for you to contribute to the enrichment of the
Capella platform:
• Share any kind of extension to Capella that is in a
prototype state – add-on, validation rules,
enhancement to diagrams, bridges with other tools, …
• Collaborate - publish your work either as an executable
or its source code, get feedback, work with other
developers
• Discover and try prototype extensions
• Create synergies to bring the prototypes to an industrial
level

Why Capella 5.0?
(and not 1.5)
Main reason is coherency
• Future major releases will increment the
version number (6.x)
Capella 5.0 is a major release
• Changes in API
• JRE 14.0.2 is embedded, deployment is
simplified
• .capella extension (exit
.melodymodeller!)
• Capella.exe (exit eclipse.exe!)

Refresh all representations in the model 35% 70%
Refresh one huge scenario 99% (from 110 to <1 second) 99% (from 330 to <1 second)
Creation of a message in a huge scenario 92% (from 160 to 12 seconds) 97% (from 400 to 13 seconds)
