Java PathFinder (JPF) is an explicit state model checker developed by the Automated Software Engineering Group of NASA of the AMES Research Center (California). Eclipse is probably the most important and used Java Integrated Developing Environment (IDE) and not only; it is a framework/environment that can be easily extended with new functionalities by exploiting its plug-in mechanism. Through a JPF plug-in for Eclipse it is possible to integrate powerful model checking and testing capabilities into the development environment. This paper presents the re-design of the standalone version of JPF towards an Eclipse plug-in exploiting and outlining in this way the advantages of an open source development.
