Building Physics Catalog Data Model and Editor

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. Install m2e and tycho configurators to enable Maven

• Add Maven support via Help -> Install New Software... from update site http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases, check Maven Integration for Eclipse (m2e) and accept all defaults
• Go to Eclipse Preferences... -> Maven -> Discovery and press Open Catalog, Find: tycho and check Tycho Configurator, Press Finish.

4. Import all Eclipse projects in this GIT repository via File -> Import... -> Projects from GIT -> Clone URI
5. Refresh and clean/build projects
6. Select file de.hftstuttgart.buildingphysics.application.product and execute Open With -> Product Configuration Editor, in Overview, section Testing, press Synchronize first and Launch an Eclipse Application second. Validation will fail, but nevertheless, proceed to generate a Runtime Configuration, albeit incomplete for now.
7. Open Run -> Run Configuration..., select newly created run configuration and execute Add Required Plug-ins under tab Plug-ins, Apply and Run
8. Run/Debug from Eclipse IDE: Press New... to ceate a new empty Building Physics Catalog; Save and Load buttons are also available.
9. Build deliverables with Maven: Select project de.hftstuttgart.buildingphysics.parent and execute Run As -> Maven install
