1.4.0
The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".
Kitalpha is the component which contains the CTK and the environments for development and execution of MBE (model-based engineering) workbenches. Kitalpha depends on modeling components (e.g., EMF, Sirius, Xtext, EMF Diff/Merge, EGF).
The Kitalpha solution is an Eclipse platform which integrates Kitalpha. The purpose is to provide a consistent and ready-to-use development platform.
Kitalpha can be specialized in order to provide workbench-specific development environments. For instance, Capella Studio is a Kitalpha solution which integrated Capella with specific adaptions (e.g., contributions to editors, generators) for development of Capella viewpoints and tools (e.g., model checking, transformations).
Kitalpha is extendable by Kitalpha addons (e.g., Eclipse Platform Introspection).
