Release 2.5 Preview
From Conqat
The upcoming version 2.5 of ConQAT provides a wealth of new features and improvements. Most notably the Eclipse integration of ConQAT has matured and now includes an improved editor for analysis blocks, views and editor integration for code clones (formerly provided as ConQATCloneDetective), and a graphical editor for architecture definitions. A release is planned for beginning of July, but for the upcoming ICSE'09 we provide a technology preview.

When starting cq.edit Professional for the first time, compile errors for the ConQAT projects may be shown. Remedy this problem by refreshing the whole ConQAT working set by selecting it and pressing F5.
To execute blocks, the dot graph layouter must be installed on your system. If you don't have it installed yet, make sure your path variable includes cq.edit-2.0-professional\dot.
