Formal release of the PIPE+ tool

This is the first formal release of the PIPE+ tool. This release contains the fully functional Hybrid Predicate Transition Nets implementation for modeling and simulating Discrete Event Systems, Hybrid Systems, and Cyber-Physical Systems.

This release package includes the binaries of the implementation, the dependencies (jar files) and the scripts to start the application.

To use this tool from the binary, first, download the zip somewhere in your filesystem, extract it and then run one of the start scripts suitable for your environment. Alternatively, the application can be launched using Java Webstart protocol. For this from a command prompt run the following command

javaws https://github.com/dalam004/pipeplus/raw/master/dist/PIPE.jnlp

This option may involve some additional steps to resolve the security issues with the Java Webstart. First of all, you need to have the latest JRE security updates. Then you possibly need to add https://github.com/dalam004/pipeplus/raw/master/dist/ to the exception site list. And finally, when the download of the binaries is done and the app is launched, it will show that the binaries have self-signed certificates. You need to give your consent to accept the risk You can do that safely because PIPE+ does not contain any harmful code.
