What is it?

The Object Teams Development Tooling is an extension to the Eclipse platform, serving as an integrated development environment (IDE). It embeds the role-based and aspect-oriented language Object Teams/Java into the IDE, providing software developers with a rich set of tools to support the development.

Read an Overview of the OTDT (2 pages, in German).
See the Feature list for further information.

Notes on compatibility
The OTDT-feature replaces the Eclipse Java compiler with the OT/J compiler, which is in fact a modified version of Eclipse's Java compiler.
Find out about the compiler's compatibility.

Suggested memory setting

    -vmargs -Xmx384m

Versions

3.2.2
The OTDT is build on top of the 3.2.2 release of Eclipse.
1.0.x
For the OTDT this is the xth release within the 1.0 stream.
3.1002.2
For technical reasons the adapted JDT core plug-in contained in the OTDT is labeled by this kind of version number, which signals that this plug-in is compatible with a 3.2.2 release of the original JDT but not vice versa, since our JDT core additionally supports OT/J
(we are not claiming that we are 1000 releases ahead of Eclipse ;-).
