If you just want to build the project, no prerequisites are required. Just run ./gradlew build from the checkout directory. This will download required version of the mbeddr platform language library from the itemis Nexus repository.
When the build has finished, you can open the project in MPS from the folder <iets3.opensource>/code/languages/org.iets3.opensource
To publish this project's artifacts to the Maven local repository run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal.
If you want to use a custom version of mbeddr with Gradle, publish its artifacts to the local Maven repository
(consult mbeddr documentation).
In general, we support the latest MPS version on master plus the three previous versions on maintenance branches.
We take care of porting changes done in older supported MPS versions to the newer ones. For details see wiki.
- MPS 2024.1 (branch: master)
- MPS 2023.2 (branch: maintenance/mps20232)
- MPS 2022.3 (branch: maintenance/mps20223)
- MPS 2022.2 (branch: maintenance/mps20222)
- MPS 2021.3 (branch: maintenance/mps20213)
- MPS 2021.2 (branch: maintenance/mps20212)
- MPS 2021.1 (branch: maintenance/mps20211)

The project is separated into the following virtual packages:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| build-allScripts.xml | This ant script generates the overall build script that also contains the script for running the tests from the command line. |
| prebuild.xml | This ant script contains the analysis language, core base, and expressions base. |
