Modelling in Eclipse: UML combined with Eclipse provides a framework for modelling both structure and behaviour

摘要

THE ECLIPSE FRAMEWORK supports plug-ins for a wide range of software construction tools, from modelling to code debugging. These tools include platforms for simulation of both the user and hardware interface; builders and managers for editing, compiling, and linking; profilers for system performance profiling and analysis of RTOS and user events; debuggers spanning targets from workstations to embedded processors; and so on Becoming proficient in all these tools is a task in itself, but often they each use different interfaces, conventions, and paradigms. The cognitive dissonance caused by switching between tools can become acute, especially as we lengthen the tool chain to include modeling.
