What is it?

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.

OTDT

Supported Platforms

Download

Incremental download from the update site
Incremental update is available to upgrade to newer versions within the same development stream (currently: 1.1.X).
The update site can also be used to add the OTDT feature to an OT/Equinox-enabled Eclipse installation (see below).
The update site is located at

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
In order to avoid problems with low memory, we advise you to start the OTDT (command eclipse) with the following argument:
-vmargs -Xmx512m
The Sun JVM also likes the following tweak for running Eclipse (again after the -vmargs switch):
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m

Source code access

Versions

3.3
The OTDT is build on top of the 3.3 release of Eclipse ("Europa")
1.1.x
For the OTDT this is the xth release within the 1.1 stream.
3.1013.x
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 3.3 release of the original JDT but not vice versa, since our JDT core additionally supports OT/J
(we are not claiming that we are 1010 releases ahead of Eclipse ;-).

Older software
>> Version 1.0.0 based on Eclipse 3.2.2 is available here
>> really old software is available here (just for documenting the history ;-)
