There are several ways to extend the functionality of the OMNeT++ IDE. The Simulation IDE is based on the Eclipse platform, but extends it with new editors, views, wizards, and other functionality.
Because the IDE is based on the Eclipse platform, it is possible to add additional features that are available for Eclipse. The installation procedure is exactly the same as with a standard Eclipse distribution. Choose the Help | Install New Software... menu item and select an existing Update Site to work with or add a new Site (using the site URL) to the Available Software Sites. After the selection, you can browse and install the packages the site offers.
To read about installing new software into your IDE, please visit the Updating and installing software topic in the Workbench User Guide. You can find the online help system in the Help | Help Contents menu.
