QNX Momentics IDE 8.0.2 Release Notes

The QNX Momentics IDE 8.0.2 is built on top of Eclipse 2023-06 and supports the features of QNX SDP 8.0.

QNX Momentics 8.0.2 Update


Date of this edition: June 16, 2025
You can install the IDE on the following development hosts:
  • Microsoft Windows 10/11 Pro 64-bit
  • Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 (x86_64)
  • RedHat Enterprise Linux Version 9
Note:

QNX Software Center offers several methods of installing the Momentics IDE:

  • New installation - To install a completely new Momentics application, or if you want to install a second copy in a separate location, you can select the Add New Installation option.
  • Update - Select this method if you want to update an existing IDE to IDE 8.0.2 only if you have modified your Momentics installations by installing other Non-Momentics plugins. To update either a 8.0 base or 8.0.1 installation to 8.0.2, use the "Momentics (Update Only)" package which appears in the Available tab of the QNX Software Center (QSC). If you didn't modify your installation, use the New Installation method instead of the Update method.

    Note: In both cases, the IDE user data are stored in a dedicated directory called "Workspace" and are preserved regardless of the installation method that you select.

    To update:

    1. From the dropdown menu, select the Momentics installation that you want to update.
    2. In the Available or the Update tab (see above), navigate to the package with "Momentics (Update Only)" in the name, and install it.
  • Installing Momentics plugins into another Eclipse instance - The "Update Only" package can be used to install Momentics plugins in a Non-Momentics Eclipse-based IDE.

    To install:

    1. Select the package, right click and select Download Only.
    2. Locate the resulting package and extract its content.

    Note: The content of a package is the Eclipse site repository and can be used to perform a local update. For more information, go to the Eclipse User Guide (https://help.eclipse.org/latest/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-124.htm).
