Eclipse-based graphical rendering and editing of Modelica code

Moraeus, Lennart and Olsson, Kristina (2011)
Computer Science and Engineering (BSc)
Abstract
This paper describes the development of software that generates graphical icons for classes written in Modelica, an object oriented language for modeling complex systems. The icon rendering is developed as a new feature in the JModelica IDE, a plugin for the multi-language software development environment Eclipse. The JModelica IDE is included in the distribution of the open source project JModelica.org, the aim of which is to create an industrially viable open source platform for optimization of Modelica models. Icon rendering of Modelica models is a step towards integrating graphical editing in JModelica IDE, which will facilitate the editing and decrease the editing time. Details of the implementation, as well as the difficulties... (More)
This paper describes the development of software that generates graphical icons for classes written in Modelica, an object oriented language for modeling complex systems.

Icon rendering of Modelica models is a step towards integrating graphical editing in JModelica IDE, which will facilitate the editing and decrease the editing time. Details of the implementation, as well as the difficulties encountered along the way, are discussed in this paper. A short introduction to the different projects and technologies relevant to the development is also given. The project described in the paper was done at Modelon AB in Lund. (Less)
