Release Date
Deliverables
The release deliverables consist of the following items:
- eTrice modeling tools (includes runtime, sources, tutorial and documentation) (ZIP file download and update site).
- eTrice Java code generator, middleware and model library.
- eTrice ANSI-C code generator, middleware and model library.
- eTrice C++ code generator, middleware and model library.
- eTrice tests (no download, executed in central Hudson build)
Compatibility
There will be additional features in models and code generators, leading to limited compatibility.
Internationalization
eTrice aims at real-time and embedded developers. All texts come by default in English only, no internationalization is planned.
Target Environments
In order to remain up-to-date, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current versions of the underlying operating environments. The eTrice project depends upon the Platform and other projects, which are mostly "pure" Java. The 0.4.0 release of the eTrice Project is written and compiled against the Kepler APIs, and targeted to run on version 1.6 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition. eTrice will be tested and validated against a subset of target environments listed for the platform.

Themes
Dynamic Actors
In ROOM [1] there is the possibility to have optional actor instances. This could be a single actor which is created at runtime by its parent actor's behavior. The type of this actor is also determined at runtime which makes this feature very powerful. Another possibility is to have an array of optional actors. In this case also the array size may vary at runtime.

Consolidation of Existing Features: Model Editors, Generators and Runtimes (Java and C)
Existing features will be consolidated. Some minor features are missing in the C generator, others are missing in the Java generator. We will add more test to get a better coverage of tested features. We will also do some re-factorings and round-offs where appropriate.
