=== How can I get the sources of the Rodin platform? ===
+
Event-B Qualitative Probability plug-in provides supports for reasoning about termination with probability 1 (almost-certain termination).
  
There are two options for getting the sources of the Rodin platform:
 
# The safe option is to download the source bundle which is made available with each platform release.  This ensures that you will get a consistent set of source files, albeit maybe a bit outdated.
 
# The other option is to fetch the sources from Subversion, which allows to get their latest version.  The Rodin developers strive for keeping theses sources usable (i.e. they should always compile and pass unit tests), but breakage can happen.

+
== Installing and Updating ==
 +
The plug-in is available through the main Rodin Update Site under '''Modelling Extension''' category.
  
To install the bundled sources, you first have to download the bundle from SourceForge. It takes the form of a ZIP file named <tt>rodin-VERSION-sources.zip</tt>. Then, in Eclipse, click {{Menu|File > Import...}}  In the ''Import'' popup, select {{Menu|General > Existing Projects into Workspace}} and click {{button|Next}}.  Then tick {{Menu|Select archive file}} and enter the path to the source bundle you have just downloaded.  Ensure that all projects are ticked and click {{button|Finish}}.  Your workspace gets populated with the source projects of the Rodin platform and Eclipse starts building.

=== Installing the sources from Subversion in Eclipse ===
+
== Technical References ==
  
To install the sources from Subversion, in Eclipse click {{Menu|File > Import...}}, then select {{Menu|SVN > Checkout Projects from SVN}} in the ''Import'' popup and click {{button|Next}} twice.  In the ''Url'' textbox, enter <tt>https://rodin-b-sharp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rodin-b-sharp</tt> and click {{button|Next}}.  In the tree displaying the subversion repository, select path <tt>trunk/RodinCore/org.rodinp.releng</tt> and click {{button|Finish}}.  Your workspace now contains the project <tt>org.rodinp.releng</tt>.
+
== Usage ==
 
 
To install the other source projects, click again {{Menu|File > Import...}}, but this time select {{Menu|Team > Team Project Set}} and click {{button|Next}}.  When asked for a ''File name'', enter the path to file <tt>org.rodinp.releng/rodin-core.psf</tt> in your workspace and click {{button|Finish}}.  Eclipse then fetches the other source projects of the Rodin platform into your workspace (this can take some time).
 
 
 
=== Using Rodin as Target Platform ===
 
From Rodin 1.3 on, source bundles can be included in a [[Using Rodin as Target Platform|target platform]] configuration.
 
 
 
=== Using Rodin-SVN from Eclipse consumes too much memory ===
 
Running the Rodin platform from Eclipse can consume a lot of RAM and become impractical on a small machine.  If you fall in this case, you can [[#How_do_I_generate_a_Rodin_product_from_SVN.3F|generate a product]] and use it as if it was a normal release.
 
 
 
=== How do I generate a ''Rodin'' product from sources? ===
 
In the project ''org.rodinp.platform'', right-click on ''Rodin.platform'' and select {{menu|export}}. Choose {{menu|Plug-in Development > Eclipse product}} and click on {{button|Next}} type <tt>Rodin</tt> for the ''Root directory'', and choose the ''Destination directory''. Then click on {{button|Finish}}.
 
 
 
=== How to build ''Rodin'' headless? ===
 
When releasing a new version of the Rodin platform, the Rodin team builds the platform headless (i.e. using batch scripts rather than Eclipse GUI).  The process used for that is described in [[Building Rodin Headless]].  Alternatively, the Rodin team has also set up a [[CruiseControl]] server for checking that builds do not break.
 
 
 
=== How to generate ''Rodin'' source plugins for a Target Platform configuration ? ===
 
 
 
For source plugins to work properly in a [[Using Rodin as Target Platform|target platform]] configuration, use the Ant script explained in [[Generating source bundles for inclusion in a target platform configuration|this page]].
 
 
 
=== How do I collect debug information from the Rodin platform? ===
 
You may see the log in the console by appending <tt>-consoleLog</tt> to the rodin executable: <code>rodin -consoleLog</code>
 
 
 
You may add specific debug informations by setting specific options: <code>rodin --debug options.file -consoleLog</code> where {{file|options.file}} contains something like:
 
<pre>
 
org.pluginname/debug = true
 
org.pluginname/debug/optionaldebug = true
 
</pre>
 
where'' optionaldebug'' may be found in the {{file|org.pluginname/.options}} file in the [http://rodin-b-sharp.cvs.sourceforge.net/rodin-b-sharp/ rodin source repository].
 
 
 
=== How do I submit a patch? ===
 
Good practises for patch submission are described [[How to Submit Patches|here]].
 
 
 
=== How do I track memory leaks? ===
 
If you suspect that some memory isn't freed, you may find some useful directions on how to track memory leaks [[Tracking Memory Leaks|here]].
 
 
 
=== How do I report a bug. ===
 
See [[How_To_Contribute#How_do_I_report_a_bug_or_a_feature_request.3F|the ''How to contribute'' page]].
 
 
 
=== How do I save the models ? ===
 
After the separation between a file ({{class|IRodinFile}}) and its root (a {{class|IInternalElement}}), that occurred in version 0.9.2, model saving is no more achievable through internal elements. Instead, you have to save the {{class|IRodinFile}}.
 
 
 
IInternalElement element = ...
 
element.getRodinFile().save(...);
 
 
 
 
 
=== How do I add a new attribute to existing elements (e.g. Event-B event)? ===
 
You need to extend the following extension point <code>org.rodinp.core.attributeTypes</code> to declare the new attribute.
 
 
 
Note: There is no constraint on which element type this attribute type associated with. In principle, any attribute type can be attached to the any internal element type.
 
 
 
The detail steps are described in the following page [[Extending the Rodin Database#Adding a New Attribute|Extending the Rodin Database]].
 
 
 
=== How do I extend the Event-B structure editor (the Edit Tab of the Event-B editor) for editing an attribute (which I added to the Rodin DB as described [[#How do I add a new attribute to existing elements (e.g. Event-B event)?| here]])? ===
 
 
 
You need to extend the following extension point <code>org.eventb.ui.editorItems</code> to declare the two different elements:
 
 
 
* How the attribute is going to be displayed/edited. This is done by declaring one of the following elements: <code>textAttribute</code>, <code>choiceAttribute</code> or <code>toggleAttribute</code>.
 
 
 
* The relationship between the attribute and internal elements. This is done by declaring an <code>attributeRelation</code> element.  Note: In fact, this relationship declares which element '''allows''' to have this attribute, which is not something enforce when the attribute is added as described [[#How do I add a new attribute to existing elements (e.g. Event-B event)?| here]].
 
 
 
The detail steps are described in the following page [[Extending the Structure Editor#Adding a New Attribute|Extending the Structure Editor]].
