Henshin - Installation

Install from update site

Henshin is a plug-in for recent versions of the Eclipse Modeling Tools (last tested version: 2019-12). To obtain the most recent Eclipse version, go to the download page and download the Eclipse Modeling Tools.

To install Henshin, open Eclipse, go to Help -> Install New Software... and insert one of the following update site URLs:

• Current release: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/henshin/updates/release (1.6.0)
• Nightly builds: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/henshin/updates/nightly
• Permanent URLs of current and previous releases:
  • http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/henshin/updates/1.6.0
  • http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/henshin/updates/1.4.0
  • http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/henshin/updates/1.2.0
  • http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/henshin/updates/1.0.0
  • http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/henshin/updates/0.9.2

At a minimum, install the Henshin SDK feature. From version 1.6.0, you can choose an additional powerful feature for variant management (Henshin Variability SDK), and source versions of both features (for inspecting the features' source code in Eclipse).
