RTC Builder

RTC Builder is a template generator tool for RT Components. It generates custom templates based on user-configured parameters. RTC Builder operates on top of Eclipse and interacts seamlessly and intuitively with other Eclipse plugins. Although RTC Builder can be used even if RT System Editor is not installed, if it is, RTC Builder's menus will be integrated with those of RT System Editor. This document is written assuming RT System Editor is installed.

Functional Overview

Operating Environment

The following must be installed for RTC Builder to function.

If you will be generating components for C++ or Python, you will need the following as well:

Install RTC Builder

Because RTC Builder is an Eclipse plugin, it requires Eclipse to be installed. Eclipse is written in Java, so it in turn requires a Java environment to be set up before it can be installed (such as the JDK).

Installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

Before installing Eclipse, install a suitable Java, such as Sun's Java Runtime Environment (JRE). If you already have a Java Development Environment (JDK) version 1.6 or above installed, there is no need to install a separate JRE. (If you will be generating Java code using RTC Builder, you will need to have a JDK installed; the JRE will not be sufficient.)

• JRE download
• JRE (Windows) online installer
• JRE (Windows) online installer
• Java Development Kit 6

Follow the displayed instructions to install after downloading.
