Before you can use a local silecs, you need to download and build the silecs projects locally !

Start the Eclipse-Plugin as separate eclipse application:

• Right click on the project --> run as --> Eclipse Application ( The first run will usually fail, but provide you with a run-configuration which we can )
• Go to "run" --> "run configurations ..." select the silecs configuration
  • In the tab "Main" select "Run an application" ( this will run the silecs-plugin as an eclipse-workspace (org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench) )
  • In the tab "Plug-Ins" select all plugins ( this will force eclipse to use all installed plug-ins as well in the new workspace )
  • Press Apply
  • Press Run

Configure preferences: In the new eclipe-window, go to window --> preferences --> silecs

• Check the box "use local workspace"
• Provide the path to your silecs-installation in "Local Silecs workspace" ( folder in which silecs-codegen, silecs-communication-cpp, etc. are located )
• Apply / ok

Test: Create New silecs-design validate it and generate its code
