Eclipse Titan™ 6.6.0 Release Review

This release introduces two new experimental Eclipse plug-ins:

-The Eclipse Java code generation plug-in, see:

https://github.com/eclipse/titan.core/blob/master/usrguide/java_referenceguide/JavaReferenceGuide.adoc

and also: “Tutorial for the Java code generator and executor of the TITAN Eclipse”:

https://github.com/eclipse/titan.core/blob/master/usrguide/JavaCodegenExecTutorial.pdf

Note: due to the need to sync the C++ and Java side, a new restriction had to be introduced:

The version of the Eclipse plug-ins has to coincide with the version of the Titan core compiler and executor, else the plug-ins will not work.

This restriction is not present in versions 6.5.0 and earlier.

-The Eclipse Refactoring plug-in, see:

https://github.com/eclipse/titan.EclipsePlug-ins/blob/master/org.eclipse.titanium.refactoring/docs/Titanium_Refactoring_Description/Titanium_Refactoring_Description.adoc

Next to some bugfixes, the release also contains the follwing new features:

• Support for real-time testing in TITAN(continued from 6.5.0)
• Extended 'default' JSON attribute for structured types
• New command line option '-p' implemented for TTCN binaries (both in single mode and parallel mode), which lists all module parameters
• Printing symbolic version in 'compiler -v'
• Legitimized compiler option '-0'
• Implementation of the compiler side of map param/unmap param
• Colorized compiler error/warning messages
