TextUML Toolkit M4 test build is now available
The first (and hopefully only) test build for M4 is now available. This is the first milestone where you can get the TextUML Toolkit via Update Manager. Just point Update Manager to:
http://abstratt.com/textuml/update/
Actually, if you are planning to use Acceleo or UML2Tools, it is the best approach. From an Eclipse SDK 3.3 install, point the Update Manager to the site above and install the TextUML Toolkit along with its prerequisites (EMF and UML2). Once you are done, you can install any compatible tools, such as Acceleo and/or UML2Tools (sites will be automatically configured after you install the Toolkit and its prerequisites). If you are not planning to use Acceleo, you can start from an Eclipse Platform install, or you can just download the TextUML Toolkit from the download page as usual.
Follows a summary of the changes that went into M4, including features (in bold) and bug fixes.
