itemis CREATE 5.5.0 (September 17, 2025)

This release mainly fixes Java simulation bugs and compatibility issues with the supported Eclipse platforms. It also delivers a newly added feature for the C# code generator.

C# code generator

  • The C# code generator now supports generic tracing. With this feature, specific events are generated on certain execution events. These events can be consumed by any custom implementation or a generated YET Tracer.

Java domain simulation

Fixed several issues when java domain statecharts and external java source are used for simulation:

  • Fixed an error when calling the constructor of an external class
  • Fixed the simulation view for externally declared java objects
  • Fixed the value assignment through the simulation view for externally declared variables
  • Fixed execution and evaluation of externally declared functions

Validation and Modeling

  • Relaxed validation of completion transitions in the context of multi statemachine models. Using completion transitions was forbidden before in this context what lead to a validation error. Now it is allowed to use completion transitions in multi statemachine models. Nevertheless if a state declares a submachine the submachines completion state is not considered yet. This will be implemented in a future release. For now a warning is raised if a completion transition is used in a state that declares a submachine.

Miscellaneous

  • Fixed a bug that caused a stack overflow error (StackOverflowError) when starting a simulation for multi statemachine scenarios with cyclic references.

Target platform

  • The downloadable application is now built on the latest (2025-09) Eclipse target instead of 2025-03.
  • With the aforementioned change Eclipse 2025-06 and 2025-09 are now supported for features and plugins provided via the update site.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: As there was an EMF bug bundled with the Eclipse 2025-06 release the latest version of GMF Runtime SDK is required (1.8.0.202508120942).
It is shipped with the release train (https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest) so installing CREATE with the default Available Software Sites the installation should pull it automatically.
In other cases it could be installed from https://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmp/gmf-runtime/updates/releases/
