**Important: This is a prototype and work in progress!!**

## How to Use

1. Ensure Java 11 or higher is available (if not, install AdoptOpenJDK 15)
2. Install Eclipse Modeling Tools, version 2020-09 or higher
3. Import all Eclipse projects in this GIT repository via `File -> Import... -> Projects from GIT -> Clone URI`
4. Refresh and clean/build projects
5. Open `de.hftstuttgart.buildingphysics.application.product` and in `Overview`, section `Testing` press `Synchronize` first and `Launch an Eclipse Application` second
6. Press `New...` to ceate a new empty Building Physics Catalog; Save and Load buttons are also available.
