Actifsource V7.0.0

Actifsource 7.0.0 distinguishes between aggregates and compositions (like in UML) instead of ownRelation.

• Aggregated resources lead to a separate .asr file on the file system
• The lifetime of the .asr files for aggregated resources is managed automatically
• Diff/Merge will work with much better performance on separated models

• Use the Actifsource Community Edition for NON-commercial projects only

Eclipse Neon not yet supported

• Installing Actifsource on Eclipse Neon is not yet supported

Installation might fail

• If the installation fails, delete the .eclipse folder in the user folder
• Please note that passwords from updates sites will get lost

Installing Actifsource

• Actifsource sets the memory settings automatically after installing and restarting
• The Restart-Button displayed after the plugin installation, restarts eclipse in such a way that it still uses the old memory settings
• To prevent OutOfMemoryExceptions you need to completely close eclipse (File, Exit or Close-Button) and start it again
