Target Environments

The acceleo project depends upon on the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. acceleo will be available on Eclipse Ganymede and Galileo. EMF is used by the Acceleo execution engine for accessing the models. The MDT-OCL component is reused to edit, parse, and interpret OCL as a sub-language of Acceleo. acceleo will target the same Java version as EMF, which currently requires Java 5. Eclipse Platform SDK 3.5 will be tested and validated on a number of reference platforms. acceleo will be tested and validated against a subset of those listed for the platform.
