BRIDE - The MDE tool chain for ROS

BRIDE is a model driven engineering tool chain based on Eclipse for the development of ROS components, systems and applications.

Installation

From official ROS repositories

$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-bride

From source

$ mkdir -p ~/git/bride_ws/src                  (or somewhere else)
$ cd git/bride_ws/src
$ catkin_init_workspace

Clone the release version of the BRIDE repository

$ git clone https://github.com/ipa320/bride.git
$ cd ..

Install eclipse and the necessary plugins by building the workspace:

$ catkin_make

Run bride from the workspace

$ source devel/setup.sh
$ rosrun bride eclipse

Updating a source installation

If you installed BRIDE from source you can update your installed version by updating the repository with git:

$ git pull origin develop

Afterwards start BRIDE as usually and go into the “Help” menu and select “Check for Updates”. If there are updates in the generated plugins in the repository, Eclipse should install them during the update process.

Development

Please report issues here on github. If you want to develop for BRIDE you can find documentation on the setup here: https://github.com/ipa320/bride/wiki/Developer-setup
