Ready to use Epsilon distributions

Click here to download ready to use Eclipse distributions containing EMF, GMF, Epsilon and Emfatic. Please note that these distributions are not hosted under eclipse.org and contain a fork of Emfatic that has not been IP-checked.

If on the other hand you prefer to download and install Epsilon manually please follow the steps below:

Warning:The instructions below don't work at the minute as the GMF update site has changed and the new site also includes a dependency to OCL which we haven't figured out a way to satisfy (sigh...). Until we get around this, please stick to the ready to use distributions above.

Step 1: Download Eclipse

The development tools of Epsilon come as a set of Eclipse plugins and therefore, to install Epsilon you need to download and install Java 1.6+ and Eclipse (including GMF and EMF) first. The Eclipse Indigo Modeling Tools distribution contains most of the necessary prerequisites for Epsilon and is available for the following platforms:

Step 2: Install Epsilon, GMF and Emfatic

The update sites you will need are:

GMF Tooling: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmp/gmf-tooling/updates/dev-snapshots/
Epsilon: http://download.eclipse.org/epsilon/updates/
Emfatic: http://www.scharf.gr/eclipse/emfatic/update/

The bleeding edge version of Epsilon is available in the interim update site

http://download.eclipse.org/epsilon/interim/

Binaries: A zip-file containing the features and plugins of Epsilon (you can use this to create a local update site or you can just copy all the plugins and features to the dropins folder of your Eclipse installation).

Source code: This article describes how you can obtain the latest version of the source code of Epsilon from the Eclipse SVN server.

SVN Repository: http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.epsilon/

Warning: Epsilon can also be installed through the Eclipse Marketplace client, but unless you have manually installed GMF from the update site provided above, Eugenia will not work as the Marketplace client will only install a part of GMF. We're investigating this but until we've come up with a good solution, we recommend not using this option to install Epsilon - particularly so if you plan to use Eugenia.
