Overview

The Tefkat plugin is available under the Lesser GNU Public Licence (LGPL). We are open to dual licensing so please contact us if you require an alternate licence.

Tefkat is currently built with Eclipse 3.2, EMF 2.2.x and Antlr. It has been used with both Eclipse 3.3 and EMF 2.3.x without problem. You will need to install both EMF and Antlr before you can install Tefkat.

Builds

Builds are available from this Update Site. Build 2.1.0.lawley266 is the most recent (2008/01/11) and now supports multi-Resource source extents (see the F.A.Q. for details).

Note, most of these builds are from branches/lawley since they reflect the most current form of Tefkat.

Known Limitations

  • Tefkat fails to detect (erroneous) rules that violate multiplicity constraints on a feature indirectly; through setting the value of the feature's opposite end.
  • The semantics of interactions between EXTENDS and OVERRIDES are too complex and in need of simplification.
